Bruce, that looks great! And the idea to use ILM techniques to detail this is perfect!

On a roll!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Thank you, Carlos and Lyle! Your support is always greatly appreciated. Last night I sanded and shaped the quarter panels to make them closer to the smooth seamless look of the prototype, and early this morning I received a great 3D design by Marius of correctly fluted header pipes! Now all I need is to take his design to a printer...

Means I stopped, started—which we all do—
Currently think the driver as molded is much too small. Will have to rebuild him a bit larger. Time to break out the putty and toothpicks....

We ALL do that. The "what it means" was for the Yowsa….But, you are right on the driver I think. Too small by about 1/4 a head.
