At the last update, AP had the FIA body on a reference chassis checking the accuracy of the body. The body came out of 'scrutineering' with excellent marks. What also came out of that exercise is a list of what needs changing on the body and what changes are needed to the standard 427 chassis to accommodate the new body. All minor stuff, but all needed to be documented, and now those changes need to be actioned.

The most major visual change - but I'm assured, an easy one to execute - is the decision to modify the front flares from the roadster style (as on COB6008 and CSX2259) to the more suitable 'typical' FIA style front flares. Measurements showed that the roadster front flares would limit the width of the wheels and tyres (and also limit the front track) and importantly, would result in the front of the car not sitting low enough. The limiting feature on the front flares is the vertical flange. Also important, AP have enough data to reproduce the FIA flares accurately. All things considered, a logical decision.

No point showing pages of co-ordinates, so will have to wait until next week for pictures.

Cheers,
