Paul Newman Z WIP

Description

I was browsing youtube and a found a seatbelt commercial with Paul Newman, and the actual car in it
[link]
That commercial actually helped me some on making the roll cage. I didnt know the doors on the real car still opened.

Right now i have the roll cage all done, its mostly scratchbuilt with some modified stock car roll cage pieces. I have kind of a start on making the dash which is also from a trashed stock car kit. I just narrowed it to fit, and i cut off all the gauges and im rearanging them to look like the gauge arangemnt on the real car.
On the body shell i added a few support braces in the engine compartment. Acoording to my pics, there wasnt a brace on the driver's side just ahead of the engine. Im guessing thats where the airduct leading to the carbs went? Some of my pics arent very clear, since most of them are in a 1980 Road and Track issue with some color, and B/W pics...

I also got a start on the engine, which is the engine from the kit, but I added carbs on the side with a scratch built heat shield, and stacks. Yes the stacks are supposed to be different sizes going big to small lol Still not sure what the exhaust should look like.. I havent seen any undercarriage shots of the car
. Im assuming it just have 2 straight pipes going to the rear like what the racing 240Z's had back then.
