Not going with full size, Bill. The car will be around 15feet long when finished (a tad shorter than the original but it will fit in my garage :w00t . Think mini-bat  I'm staying with the wheels that are on it just now (Allycat alloys), until i can find something that resembles the 89 better. Front wheels & tyres are 185x70x13, and rears are 210x60x13 (small I know, but big isn't always best ). Only now, am I getting around to cutting up cardboard templates for the plywood 'skin'. Once I get them figured out, I'll transfer them onto thin ply, 'build' the frame and mount the panels. Then the whole body gets the fibreglass skin on top (currently thinking Vinilester resin with 2 layers of 600gram woven roving and 2 layers of tissue). Then I'll flip the whole thing over and fibreglass one more layer in, to seal it all up (hoping to put the front flange in at this stage). Finally its time to give the body the final 'finishing' sand/bodywork, then paint it. Sounds easy eh?
