    the megasquirt is completely finished, it took me 6hrs and it almost looks as good as your work, lol...



    unfortunately the front fenders didn't make the cut list... i changed my mind on the overall design of the car...


    here's an rx7 sketch with the body that i'm aiming for... so i'm redoing the front fenders... after labor day i'll have an update on those...



    and here's is what i'm basing my rear fenders from... (and front fenders too)
