Yes it did

We have been working on three new areas of the car:-

1. The front head lights
2. The rear end
3. The windscreen position

Apart from still working on other aspects of the body. As you can see from the to see we made a new head light position over the weekend we wanted to get rid of the idea of a lens cover as we thought that beyond us and also wanted to reduce the bulk when view from the side. Back to the Ferrari 625 TRC for guidance.





This has reduced the height of the light above the ground, extended the wing line and reduced the width of where the light was sitting which was a little lost due to the width of the wing at that point.

Lots of foam, fibreglass and filler and endless repeated filling and sanding to get the shape



The sides look a little angular in the photos but they are not they slope with nice curves. The red cardboard cut out head light is 205mm dia which is enough for a 7" head light and surround, just occurred to me we need a position for a side light and indicator.

Back to work now will post on the rear end and the windscreen later in the day.
