Update 12/10/15

I cut the front wheel arches and moved them forward 2″ so the wheels are centered in the bodywork without rubbing. I need to trim the front lower valance and quarter panel pieces to reflect the changes to the wheel arch location.
I built a tilt mechanism and frame for the rear body. The body will have 8 attachment points to the frame and easily support any down force from the rear spoiler. The body frame will latch at the top with two bear-claw latches. As viewed from the side the frame stands slightly proud of the rear window surround but lightweight polycarbonate should flex to the natural shape of the window surround and clear the interior frame.
