the running lights have a similar look as the ones on our 2016 Camaro ..... very nice indeed ....

More of the same.

On and off the car, making adjustments and starting to make all the bracing for the nose to become a pattern. It will need a lot of bracing.

I think the "superman" radiator opening will be sufficient for air flow to the radiator.

I must say, it does have a very engaging face, bold and intense. Like hell bent on getting somewhere. I like it.
And better than this image.

You'll find on most cars these days that the bulk of the radiator air feeds from the lower openings.

But it's irrelevant if there's no where for the air to go, air moves from high pressure zones to low pressure zones, so you need those low pressure zones just as importantly.

to my eye, all of the steps you are taking are headed in the right direction ...

You have a good eye!

The internal bracing is done, removed from the skyhook, and allows me to start working on the outside of the panels.

Will this be a hood that pivots at the windshield or a complete nose section that tilts forward?
I'm liking the looks of it.

It would be kind of neat, and might solve some problems, if the entire front section tilted. But I think in order to do it, the entire thing would need to be one piece. Maybe since the nose/bumper is going to be fiberglass anyway, expanding it to include the hood and fenders might be an option.
