Heres the link for the mounts



Ive been making some progress with it, but not very much visible at the moment. Im trying to finalize the design of the body work so I can move forward and actually start it. Heres the current state though.

One of the design issues I need to work through before I progress is going to be the division between the fenders, hood, and bumper, seeing as all will be custom or at least highly modified stock(fenders). The ducting needs to be worked out with the design as well so the vents function properly and flow with the rest of the design.



short answer: everything is going to have new mounts anyways, but those will be worked out after the bodywork is fiberglassed.

Going kinda slowly lately, hopefully I can put a little more time into it in the not so distant future.
