well of course.. :D Anyways, here is a update..

 

This is the Hood, myself and my dad wanted it to look different to what you normally see. So my dad came up with this design and i photoshopped it and we both agreed. So here is the WIP of it.

Besides that there has been some rubbing down and filling scratches and paint chips etc.. So that its nice and smooth and ready to be painted basically.

@Shyguy: We already got the engine.. If you looked a page back. And ive already said that putting a V8 or any type of large motor is just stupid.. As myself and my dad aint super rich

 

--------------------------

 

@Pherelas: There is alot of Eureka's in Australia what i know of and we have seen designs etc and alot use the normal bonnet scoop etc so we wanna make it look different and make it what we want it to me. As you can do nearly everything with Fiberglass.

Hmm.

 

Are you going to make it shiny when it's done? *Hopes*

 

Thats a stupid question.. :lol: Of course its gonna be shiny when finished.. Why would i make look like crap. :cheeky:

 

looking nice, will it have Airbags and safety things? and what platform is it built on?

 

As far as safety goes its going to have seat belts and thats it for safety on this. Custom steering wheels can't have airbags (as far as i know) aswell there is no doors so there can't be any reinforced metal bars inside the door like standard cars. So basically if myself or my dad was to crash this it most likely would not be able to be repaired depending on what type of crash.

 

Platform as in chassis? Cause if so the fiberglass body sits on a VW beetle 1600

update..

 

We are now stripping the car down back to the chassis, and sometime this week i believe it will be away for a month to be painted and the offical paint colour is 'Nitro Blue' which has silver crystals within the blue to give it the overall effect. :)
