RED BARON 3V Mustang Track Car: V2 Canards are finished, Beauty Shots!

 Brent just sent along some beauty shots after he finished and installed the V2 canards. Before the beauty shots, let's see a couple in process photos.

Here's a picture of the V2 canards mid lay up on the car. 

Here they are with bondo applied and ready for body work.

Here's an in process pic during the body work step.

Painted and ready for final installation.

Da' beauty shots!!!

So much going on here! The new canards really finish the look up front. In this light, you can see the Watson roll bar showing off and harnesses too.
That serious track car face from the front view. Roll bar saying "Look at me!". 
Day light front view! I like the blacked out fog light housings here. Very "Mach 1" - esque.
3/4 front view here with those Tehachapi Mountains and desert juniper giving a nice background.

I really like how the canards and front splitter work together from all views. Red lower control arm mounting brackets are a nice touch matching the red body color. 

Next up? 315/30/19's were ordered a few days ago. Brent is looking to get to the MDC (Mustang Drivers Clud) event at Buttonwillow CW13 on December 16 or if that doesn't work out, the end of January event. He's hoping for or thinking he can set a new PB at around 1:57 or maybe a really high 1:56. ;)
Oh, adapter bracket for running the larger rear GT500 brake rotors (13.5"?) using the stock GT calipers was ordered up on a Black Friday deal since the rear rotors were due for replacement. All the upgrades!!!
