For those who are wondering about the rear quarters. Davinci had to cut away 2 1/2 inches of the wheel well to accommodate the new 1/4 panels and wider WELD WHEELS.

You better get yours done. Not sure if Mark told you or not but apparently Davinci is the number #1 sponsor of the Rotary Revolution this year so yours one out of three needed for the booth. Better get to work........

That's more like an ammonite sticking out of the hood.

Only thing I'm doing for the body is n1 hood, re n1 bumper, feed fenders, feed 1/4 panels, carbon fiber hatch and lexan window.

They are shaving the gas door and relocating the gas filler neck. Marinetex is being used to adhese everything. That **** is like concrete, I'll have to take a sledge hammer to knock those 1/4 panels if I ever want them off.

Hmmm. . .marinetex, is that like a boat adhesive or something? Where could i get some of that from? I wouldn't mind getting some and toying around with it. Im sure it makes molding parts to cars MUCH easier.

Thanks in advance-
