there looking well " in car "
found time to collect the chassis legs from the blasters and give them a coat of red , to say there mint is an understatement , if is wasnt for the small bit of rout where the spring platforms were id sell them as " n o s " lol
prob going to get a good thick brush coat of red oxide before going bk in the car ,
then graham ( rsturbowhite ) " the man of the hour " took it uponn himself to get the lackys work and started on some of the cleaning up
turrets were cleaned for fresh sealer
inner wings were linished were welded up , and sanded back
drivers inner yet to be welded up
so there almost ready for primer and filler
and as me and k had welded up the key way for the brake master cylinder , had planned on going the pb route but changed my mind ,
graham then re cut and cleaned it bk to new
not content there lol ,
he then started prepping up where the excess material was where the bulkheads were joined , all thats now needed is a d'a to round off where the two panels meet and a coat of red
really cant thank either of them enough , cars moving forward , im fucking buzzing , and hoping my half 3 finish tomorrow hurrys up so i can get in the gargae ,

Really looking forward to seeing this completed!
