Thanks guys! Yep it sure does take a lot of time
You are right about the port too, I figured I'd put it in, and then experiment once done to see if it sounds better with it open or blocked.
Nonetheless, first few layers of matt and resin went down this arvo...
The circled area is where I had to adjust the inner skeleton to ensure my foot had adequate clearance when the clutch pedal is depressed - gotta think of these things sooner rather than later!
A couple more layers to go down in the next few days then prep for paint.
