Any more updates? How do you like the pecan windows?

very impressed with work to date. keep pics flowing with progress to completion

 

Looking good!

 

Almost together - had to do the rest of the work myself to finish the car though...

 

few more pics, I liked the appeal of a military type car due to my time in the sand box so i'm mixing up the satin black with flat OD green

 

few more pics

 

cutting out the vents on the K3 nose, and mudding in a custom air deflector I made to reduce drag on the hood....

 

few more pics

 

can appreciate your fondness for the cammy color. retired USAF myself (jungle camo), so can understand your affinity for sandbox colors

 

what size tires are those front/rear? car looks incredible!

 

315/35/17 front tires on 17x10.5 BBS Magnesiums
Rear are 345/35/19 DOT R comps on 19x14 BBS e50 rim halves from 1977, narrowed 1" on inner rim half

 

Phase two, in efforts to replicate the factory look of the very early turbo race cars (baby turbo 2.1 and 935-001) I did my intercooler plenum externally as I saw on the factory early cars. Not only is this my first time doing fiberglass work but at the same time the inside of the box is perfectly smooth for non-turbulant airflow etc.

The IC core has AWESOME flow through, but even so at 200+ mph the volume of air will be large that is moving through the compartment. So with the angled sides this is to discourage air stall or hot pockets of air as in box corners after studying some airlow diagrams, that is where the air would go in lieu of being pushed through the IC.

Ducting is 5" hose from the side intakes (top of each quarter panel)

 

Some more interior shots installed and with the window supports installed...

 

Also just for reference each lower intake in the rear quarter panels goes to an oil cooler (as well as the center air dam in the front end) so all intakes and NACA ducts are functional.

 

A few pics of it being constructed, well the end part, just for schits:
