Thoughts and comments welcome.
Next I need to thermoform the plexiglass covers and cut to shape.
In reality I only have the first bucket temporarily attached to the bonnet, hence only one in the photo (for you pedantic f-ers.)

very nice! are they those hella 90mm lights?
Looking good Steve - keep up the good work! Why is there only one headlight?

Yeh that looks superb. I'd get shot if I made my car in the kitchen though. Apart from that it won't fit through the door once the wheels
are on.

gorgeous!
Wow, look very nice.
My only comment about the perspex covers, how are you fixing them? I have seen so many kit cars with these and most use metal angle brackets to screw
to. And to do this on your car would be a shame, but looking at the rest of the car, I doubt you would even think about an ugly bracket 
Very nice.
Those lights suit the car perfectly IMHO.
Nice worshop too! I'm jealous
How to afix the covers has been a long running debate between me myself and I.
Right now I am leaning towards using a clear silicone for the main sealing/bonding interface between the perspex and the housing. Just applied around
the outer 2-3mm of the perspex. The housing and cover then become a single unit, and that is subsequently bonded to the bonnet with a 2 part epoxy. I
made a 'shelf/lip' of at least 5mm around the entire housing so that I could apply the clear. The perspex sits flat to the opening but
there will be a gap of about 1/8" all around between the perspex and the bonnet and I intend to fill that gap with black silicone to complete the
seal and make a smooth seamless interface between the fender and the perspex. When the perspex needs to be replaced, which I am sure will happen
sometime, I will have to cut the clear off the car with a cutting wire or angled knife edge... Hopefully the perspex won't yellow too much and
any scratches will be buffed out in-situ.
I do have a 3-car garage and I roll my wife's Jeep Unlimited (4 door) outside whenever I work on la bala.
It may look nice, but right now it's 110+ in the shade and lots of humidity.

very much. Very very nice, remember me to the new Chebrolet camaro head ligths, great work
Steve can i buy the plans for the labala chassis only and design my own body around it?
Does the plan for the la bala street come with everything to make the suspension also?
