Here are the latest shots in the development of AP2289's FIA body.
The body is back from being painted after significant mods to the front section to create the FIA-style front guards/fenders and to add an oil cooler scoop.
This body will in effect form the 'positive' for the creation of the mould, hence the extended guards front and rear that will allow trimming back for a strong trimmed edge.



The fronts will lose approximately half of that extension width, and the rears will lose almost all of the extension width. (Craig and Warren, please feel free to correct me if I have any of this wrong )


Nose shot:
The oil cooler scoop has been added. What shows here is not the final shape. How it blends into the body is representative, but the final shaping on the scoop is still to be done.
What we will end up with is a scoop style like the later original FIA – CSX 2431, 2345 etc.



More as it happens!

Cheers,
Glen
