Thanks for the details Erik
After a several year period with no updates, I am closing in on final assembly. I struggled with the body of the car, and decided to redo parts of this.
Luigi flares was installed. But I never liked the look, and the vision I had did not comply with this.
After getting the body into shape (thanks Mr. R), the alignment of the car doors and body panels became 100%, and I decided to keep original body width. With some massage to the wheel houses, the Mille Miglia MM2000 fit "like a glove"!
The roof had sunroof, but it was welded shut. However, the body work had some issues so the idea of a carbon roof was born. A friend also needed one and we ended up with 2 roofs and a plug for making more
. Great help from Mr. M!
Seats was supposed to be olive green, but something got wrong in the translation, so I might need to re-color them. However, they are incredible to sit in. They build quite high, so I removed the whole original seat console (the metal brackets that are welded in where the regular seat goes).
More updates will follow. The car has been painted, but now needs some days to fully cure. Then starts assembly.
