Good job on the painting skills tho. Hope you put them to good use instead.

Probably not the wing you're looking for, but the wing I did like on a Del Sol was about this height.
Just a 1-piece design, not three and it's usually called the "Mid-height" wing or "Thruster" style wing, but I thought it looked good on Sols.

actually, that's the Wings West 3-piece i wanted. it is 3 pieces, the center piece mounts to the trunk, and the other two mount on the 1/4 panels. but yeah, that's exactly it. a shame WW isn't selling anything right now.

ran into a slight road block... my dad 
he is like $4,000 behind on his house payment, and is in serious danger of losing the house. that means the shop is gone too, which means my car goes on the back burner. i'm really worried, i may have to take it to school and work on it there. but, i'd have to get through the student director first... no easy task. seems like ever since i started this make in like april... it's been one thing after another. i'm so frustrated
anyway, i'll post some pics this week after i get some more stuff done. i've got all of the jams done (doors, roof, hood, trunk). the body is all in primer... so, after i finish the underside of my hood, i can finish the body kit. after the skirts and front bumper are repaired i can start painting. i'll keep ya'll updated.

Don't worry, you'll be back on track with the car once everything is resolved.
