WENNY

water will find its way in there, and hes welded all the little holes up then leaves them tops open just seemed strange

just the usual crowd like last year im gettin the seats filled next week nif you and beef want in giz a shout, was a scream last year

turrets will stay as they are , to be honest theres areas in the car that lack as much sealer as ford put on anyway ,

you have to rember ford sealed them to try and make them last 25+ years ,

im willing to sacrifice a bit here n there for the sake of a clean look , the car will be stored in a carcoon ,


and its a summer toy , the car wont be used in the rain anyway lol have a hard enough time trying to keep it on road in the dry




update to follow ,

cossie col

Apart from when you wash it and the damp air etc. pop some sealer or something in there as the rest is done to such a high standard would be a shame for that bit to fuck up

iTrader: (6)

ill take the comments on board and have another look at it tomorrow ,


biggest issue was not wanting it to look tacky , and slapped on ,

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

ok so the bays nearly there !!!, putting up a fight lol , but broke the back of it today

well k did , i was stuck waiting at the fucking airport half the bastard day

left wing prepped







as with everything a coat of red on any bare areas

then primer ,



then spun it on its side , and prepped the chassis legs ect to get them in primer







then they were scotched, wiped and primerd up


and how the lower half of the bay is now looking

















tomorrow , the top half and hopefully get it on to the stands

special-K

dont worry col it has been protected nowt been missed...K

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

i wanted it welding round , but k said it wasnt nessacary ,

i like them the way they are now tbh ,

i MAY , put a tiny bit of sealer in the gaps to give them a flatter look ,


i dunno , lol its got a motorsport look to them imo ,

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

i dont think the light primer helps , as makes them look wayy deeper than they are ,




but i dont mind criticizim on the project , folks opinons are what you get making a thread like this ,

i also think fully weld and smooth back flush it will be far neater looking and match the rest of the bay but i can also see where your coming from with the motorsport look. cant have both looks in the bay though!

escosgazza
