That's some pretty incredible work on the fenders.  Did you use a custom definition in LSynth, or did you position them manually?  When I did the exhaust manifolds on Barman's V-8, I managed to add the 2x2 round plate to LSynth as an object and have it auto generate this:

 

Noo. . . . . . LSynth stretches the parts. It is manuel with many experiments in MLCAD and SR3. To do this, you have to change the basic rotation of all parts. Then make the bend.

This is super exciting to see this car getting build digitally with those crazy angle. You sir are a master! 

I find it funny when you and Blackbird talk Lego designing... Its as if you are talking a different language. What is a Sythes? 

[Thorsten50]

LSynth is a MLCAD Adon to make the Flex-Parts (Axles, Strings, Chains...)

You can shut off the stretch feature in LSynth.  That's how I made the exhaust manifold.  You might want to experiment with it for next time because it saves a lot of time.  I thought you probably did it manually and I know how much work it is, so amazing effort!

Everything is ready except for the Flex components and the second series of the wheelhouse

Wow!! I like how you tucked the wires into the chassis. Page 57 already!@?

@Thorsten50

In no way do I want to come across as demanding but do you think this will be posted on rebrickable before Dec 15th?  I tend to order most of my pieces through Bricks and Pieces on Lego's website and they will be shutting down on the 15th until Feb 2017.

If it won't be ready, would it be possible to get the parts list?

[Thorsten50]

I don't have a complete list yet. There are left 55 parts.

Last stand  (487-886)

[Thorsten50]

ca. 71% done

[Lox Lego]

Very professional instructions Thorsten! Page 133 already!? I wonder how many more for the complete car!

[Thorsten50]

ca. 89%

I think it will be 192 +/- 1

[technic_addict]

Maybe there is a chance the part list will be available before the Bricks and Pieces shutdown on the 15th!

Looks great!

[Thorsten50]

I have it. But the last callouts are still without arrows, and the lines of lights in the rear are not finished yet
The parts list comes probably tomorrow 14.12.

The remote is a modified version of the BMW remote,because I can't see how the illustrated version is assembled.

Fantastic work Thorsten! Your speed at creating instructions is unbeatable. I was unsure how you would create such a curvy car but you have out-done yourself!
You must have spent hours on these instructions. I am forever grateful you have helped share the Ferrari FXX and this Hennessey Venom to all!

Excellent!  Thorsten, from the quantities it looks like one or more of the buffer exchange assemblies may have been counted twice.  For example, the parts list shows 12 shock absorbers and 6 wheel hubs.  I see that the parts list uses LDView.  LDView does not handle buffer exchanges correctly unless they are ghosted.  After removing the synthesized parts, I am counting 4453 parts which seems like way too many.  Any ideas?  I also see that you changed the toggle joints on the rear wheel well to #3 connectors.  Have you tried this in real bricks to confirm the shape is right?  Either way, rare parts are used.

Lox, can you tell us how many flex axles it uses and what sizes they are?

No big deal.  Welcome to the site and I'm glad you like this lovely car.

Hi blackbird, there are 5x 12 long, 2x 11 long, 2x 16 long and 19x 19 long flex axles. I just went thru the instructions again for that count. This car is going to be expensive
