Reply to "Mind Train"

Everything is apart for paint over the winter. No good pics to show at the moment. Louvres are sitting in grey primer at the moment.

Looks like the Mind train with two splines but uses the sugar scoop.  Same number of slats.

Clear lexan "roof" over the velocity stacks like the clear lexan over the "all you can eat salad bar covers", attaches to the splines, heat curved down to keep the rain and car wash water out.

I used 8-32 black stainless button head screws threaded directly into the splines. No nuts. So it isn't as sophisticated looking as the Miura's. If you don't look close, they look like pop rivets on a fighter plane.

Has really a competition look to it. Ferrari people would find it an affront to the esthetics of the Universe as a result will need to check in with their shrinks for therapy. Lucky for them I didn't go with clear Lexan slats like Lamborghini has done recently. Then they would get a brain hemorrhage for sure?

Splines are built like stair stringers out of aluminum extrusions. Very much the same principle.

Slats are .080" aluminum.

The Mind Trains might fit the deck lid well enough as a universal kit but I think that you may find they may need to be built by hand on each car? I'm not sure about that, i.e., how much those dimensions vary from deck lid to deck lid?

The decklid curves in several directions all at the same time. They are complex curves and isn't really flat from left to right either, except for the very early cars.
