A little more progress with the a couple of the exterior additions.
I painted the lower front spoiler, and did the rear tailights at the same time(lights will install later).
I then Very cautiously attached the spoiler to the underside using a 5 min epoxy.ImageImageImage
I then once again Very cautiously attached the side exhaust rings into place with the glue. Everything seems to be holding.ImageImageImageImage

Painted and installed rear tailights: ImageImage

Added Front Headlight Covers:

Put together Steering Wheel(PE & Rubber parts on the original shaft):Image
ImageInstalled Seats, Gear Shifter and Nitrous Control Switch Box:Image

Still awaiting news on my remaining parts, but moved forward with the interior details, and have gotten some finished.

As I wait for remaining parts(including proper tires), I tried some other ones on and took a few teaser shots of what it should look like when it's done.ImageImageImage

Pretty close to the 1:1?ImageImage

Pretty awesome job. I'm guessing the finished car will sit a smidge lower though?

I got ahold of a replacement set of GMP wipers, to replace the awful ertl ones.
Definitely an improvement.ImageImageImage

I have added a cross-brace under the hood, as well as an upper rad hose, with some styrene rods. I have also begun work on the exhaust pipe off the headers, which has to run up thru the floor behind the seats, a very tight area to fit it all(more progress pics of exhaust to come).

ImageImageImage

Image
You can see the holes on the floor where the pipe has to come thru(front side of the mufflers).
Image
Pipes off headers done & passed thru floor:
Image
Image
Underside Pipes done & painted:
ImageImage

A little progress update, as I have installed temporary mufflers into place until the final parts arrive from Marco, if not then these will stay in.ImageImageImage
I will have to modify or redo the roll cage, as it seems to be touching the exhaust pipes where they come thru the floor(I should've realized this when I made it).

I also added rear side windows using clear transparent sheets, and installed them behind the inner rear quarter panels.ImageImage

I was able to source front & rear Tires from a friend, as well as some Brembo Calipers that seem to be a perfect fit.ImageImageImageImageImage
Not much left to do now, she's almost done. :)

So as mentioned above, I had to build a new roll cage as the lower bar was sitting on the exhaust pipes coming thru the floor. Actually I'm glad I did, as this new cage is much better than the first. I also reused the original rollcage lower side rails/bars.ImageImageImageImageImageImageImage
I made these supports as well which I noticed are on the 1:1.
Image
Image
Also ran some wiring for the Nitrous Controller.Image

So parts arrived, some issues are being corrected, so certain parts will still be remaining unfinished until the revised parts arrive. But some progress has been made so far.
Hood pin mounts(not sure the precise name), painted and installed in their holes.ImageImage

3D printed Dashboard was modified to attach to the original Dash(Moc-up pics).ImageImage

Dash painted and temporarily installed.ImageImage

Exhaust Muffler tips attached.ImageImageImageImage
The tips were glued inside the holes of the quarter panel, instead of being glued directly to the mufflers, this allows the body to be separated from the chassis if needed. If glued to the mufflers, then removal of the body would damage/break the exhaust work, and would be next to impossible to permanently mount that way, as there would be no access to do so.

Just a little update, added the supports braces near the front windshield, as well as removed the interior rearview mirror(just realized the 1:1 doesn't have one).
