I am not much of a blog poster, but I will start tonight with a (late) progress update on my 1989 build. Starting with my body from Ohio on 93 Chevy station wagon donor car, I have been slowly building and adding automation to my car. The car is currently the "Swamp Fox mobile" in honor of the great Americans in my guard unit here in my home state. The pic here is a quick push into primer and stickers for a recent air show - far from any complete car. The interior is coming along:

Still a lot of work on the exterior. Any help on the holy grail side mechanics would be appreciated. Also, I did not like the original turbine intake so I used an old fire extinguisher and aluminum cook pot to remake a more aggressive look. I will post more details as I progress as the car needs to be done in time as my daughters "drive away car" in her Jan 2019 wedding.

Addendum: I am getting an error message when trying to upload pics. Suggestions?

And now my attempt at “weathered metal out of the 3D files heavily modified with fiberglass/bondo, sweat, etc. to closer mimic the original.

Is there anyone remaking (or at least has a picture of) the label
That goes on the side of the main piece? Brass??

Hey Looking great.

btw, on your first vid at about 0:20 you sweep by a display that has a screen surrounded by buttons. What is this?
