Very, very nice
Given the currently weak US Dollar I reckon it's time I got around to ordering.
2 quick questions.
Will you be manufacturering early pre '57 sloping wings with the headlamp bucket lower & closer to the front hood and the blend into the running board? :D
And how about a Split dash cabrio decklid and popes nose? OK so this one is actually from a Papler but it'll do :cool:

(I'm also interested how the carbon 'lamp rims are secured to the wing)

Sorry, I don't think I'll be making any of those parts, maybe the cabrio decklid.

Yes they will mount just like the stock rings. I'm making a mold just for the tab that will be bonded to the ring, no rivets

so carbon joe hows the early rings going? prices yet?

The first set Joe made doesn't work because it didn't have a lip to hold the spring clips. We discussed making a c/f cover to bond to existing rings. Adding the lip to the c/f would be a royal PITA. He needs to make a new mold with the offset of the ring.

Status Joe?
