Eddie stopped in last week, not only does he own the car but he's our narrow hip consultant and knows exactly which narrow hip cobra his looking to replicate.
He felt we nailed the overall look except that the lower rear sections still needed to be pulled in about 2 inches. We did a little surgery while he was here and pulled them. Yup !! He was right ,, that little detail made a big difference.
So we re-bonded the lower quarter into its new home and re-sculpted them. I let the filler out gas for a few days before appling a few coat of polyester gel with special sause. I'll let this cure for a week before sanding it down with 120 grit paper then once we pull the body and apply the inner fiberglass we'll flip it onto a body buck and apply a polyester gel-coat to the entire body.
I can see the daylight :-)
