Of course. I finish everything I start... eventually.

I'm ADD, so if I don't have multiple projects, I go a little nuts.

Yep. If it wasn't different, I wouldn't be wasting my time doing it.

Good luck. I actually planned on making a rear wing similar to the one that you are creating. Just a little bigger. Your wing reminds me of the viper one though. There is a place that does V8 widebody 7's and they had one with a similar wing. It looked very much like a mini viper.

Pull interior, clean it, redye it black because it's faded and has that "FC smell".

I have an ASSLOAD more projects for the FC, but it's on the back burner until the FB is at least drivable.

2 new bed frame designs
1 new table design

Dogs:

Twizzy to agility training
Mayhem to obedience training

That's about it.

Sorry prolly sounds stupid but how do you attach the wing once you design it?
Is it just straight screwed into the body?

I thought maybe since its gonn have a lot of force on it and what not it would have to be done differently.


Thanks

I'm probably going to have a lightweight metal frame inside the spoiler to bolt directly to the car.
