Time is flying by! WTAC 2014 is only 2 months away!! :shock:

The good news is that the build schedule is progressing well and in line with my estimated time frames. Whether I get a local test day in before heading to Sydney is still questionable....but not much of an issue as testing and fine tuning will still take a number of track days to complete anyway. Either way, the car will be at Eastern Creek. :twisted:

Here are some photos of the body work currently being undertaken. At this stage I'm not posting any images of AMB Aero components or details.

As previously mentioned the guys undertaking the composite work on the NC were also doing Mick Sigsworth's Evo (Pro/Am Class). Well the build was completed in the week just gone and my god does it look awesome. Those of you who follow WTAC have probably already seen the photos....but I can tell you it looks even better in reality!!!

I can only hope the NC comes up half as good as Mick's Evo.

I've contracted Brett Rogers Motorsport Design to produce the livery design and vinyl wrap for the NC. Here's some media he's been drip feeding me over the last week.

T minus 59 days and counting.........

Cheers,
Danny

Danny I saw that car on Thursday, it is a work of art!

I like the vinyl wrap.

Just looking at those pictures of bodywork in progress...... Are you fixing boot permanently closed? Isn't there a need to get back in there down the track?

Hi Nevyn, you'll just have to wait and see.

Cheers,

My guess is the whole rear will be able to be lifted off, using catches like these http://www.aerocatch.com/aerocatch3.

Or somebody is going to have to crawl into the boot space.

Can't wait to see this in person at WTAC

Hi Mark, there will be a removable panel to provide access to the dry sump oil tank, the fuel pumps and the fuel fill cap. It will be smaller than the OEM boot lid opening.
