ok folks, 18-1-11
todays or should i say tonights update lol ,
just left k's @ half eleven lol , after a full shift at work then a half shift at garage
k's been pressing on with flatting the filler primer in the bay , by the time i got there it was 98% done with this , i got left with the other 2 lol
anyway with that done and out the way , bay was cleaned and we decided to get the inside of the arches repainted , and where the front panel is spot welded ect ,
few pics ,
the bay after the flatting stage ,
![](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv218/beefcos/update18-1-11001.jpg)
few close ups , the pics really dont show how flat it is imo - but you can see the shine on the primer

![](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv218/beefcos/update18-1-11004.jpg)
wiped with damp cloth

![](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv218/beefcos/update18-1-11006.jpg)
then it was onto the painting
the arches and inner wings were based up eairler in the resto , but they were a few areas that were left for welding ect ,

![](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv218/beefcos/update18-1-11013.jpg)
what firstly started out as blowing in the edges of the frontpanel , ended up basically painting the full inside of the panel , the tube crossmember and around the chassis leg/ front panel section , k busted out the mini hvlp gun , as getting these hard to reach areas with a small gun tonight will make it eaiser to paint tomorrow,
ohh and seeing as im nice , and feeling in a good mood lol
