32 progress been awhile since I posted

well the painting drama is now complete I have sanded filled blackened and glossed the underneath
I turned it upside down on an old mattress bought off the net and put a couple of litres of 2 pot etch primer a litre of black basecoat and 2 litres of 2 pot clear

I also did the firewall as impossible to paint later without taking the body off again

After the first application of clear I got my wife to airbrush a pair of chequered flags on it then another heavy coat of 2 pot clear

After I had block sanded this flat again I put one last coat of clear last night

a few neighbours helped me put the body on this evening with their kids feeding the hanging down bits over the chassis

now I am in the home stretch to getting it running final paint and upholstery will have to wait as I have just bought a Lotus Esprit sport 350 and hotrodding money will be tight for awhile

at least no-one will be complaining about the smell of paint through the house for awhile now I just have to clean up the garage

Very nice--I was wondering when we were going to get an update. Kudos to your wife--cool airbrush job.

that firewall art is truly unique. I like it a lot!

Really impressed with your build.  Tell the bank to come by and get the Lotus.  Ya gotta get this puppy done!
