La Bala Bodywork Progress - Mid-Engine Repost

Some of you guys never show your faces over in the Middy section, so I decided to blatantly cross-post... Besides - I threw my back out really badly this weekend while applying drywall filler to the car so I am now in bed flat on my back and using the laptop with the wireless connection to write this... DAMN!!!

Any case, Saturday went well as you can see by the photos. The shape is finally coming together. Admittedly it's still very, VERY rough, but I think its going to be a fine looking vehicle.. What do YOU think? Cheer me up would ya?@!

Damn Fargin' BACK.... I hate getting old. (38)

Sorry for post-whoring on two forums, I blame the drugs!

Just wait until you're over 50 and stuff starts falling off

Car's looking X, Steve, just screaming for a nice red paint (reneging on an earlier vote for yellow).

Wow!

Looks really good!

Thinking about a middy myself as a future project- problem is I don't think I can do the bodywork!

All the best,

James

Buy the completed bodywork from Alan or steve, and just design a car to fit in those dimensions.

Thanks Guys.

Buy one of Alan's and one of mine, then you can swap out car bodies and have two totally different looks with the same chassis! LOL

I'm going to be layed up in bed for at least the next few days. I have these wierd marble-sized nerve bundles that are swelling up at the base of my back on each side of L4-L5. It definitely sucks to be me...

Sounds like a nasty injury

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
