[DeTomaso] Gill Elimination Pictures

I should have mentioned that I am pretty darn happy with the results.


     I know that most of you will find this sacrilegious,  but here are some 
pictures of my project.  This is the modified (read easier) version of my 
earlier attempt to re-invent the wheel. LOL. The earlier version was kicking 
my ass!  I was trying to eliminate the rubber and the molding,  too much 
work for me.  What you see is very rough,  I will let the painter do the 
body filler properly,  I'm getting tired of body filler and I still have to 
do the engine bay.  As far as weight is concerned,  the sheet metal weighs 
less than the gill.  Subtract the weight of the lead that I had to remove, 
add the body filler and the car probably weighs a few ounces less than it 
did.  The F1 teams would probably pay millions to save that kind of weight! 
I'm sure I'll be able to feel it in the seat of the pants.  LOL
