The grey part shown is the actual part we're producing for the left rear of the car, from the door to the taillight.

We're getting close to machining a quarter scale test piece (to verify overall shape in the physical world) at this point.

- and the front:

If your going to do all that, are you going to do the bumpers as well (you really have to since they are unique tho this car)? What is the projected price for all this? What about a center lock system and wheels?

James, yes, TBD - but I think we can likely consider the llimited-run kit (when it is available) as an appropritely-priced Rauh-Welt alternative, and yes - no MS kit would be complete without them!

Note sure if these help, from RR3

Should have some images of the left rear quarter this weekend...

I'm just in from bringing the first quarter back from the machinist, so that's all for now. :)

this just keeps on gettin' better all the time... !!

Looks like equipment they'd use in the making of Avatar II. :)
