been lazy.not updated for a bit but the chassis and all the running gear is back from the powder coaters.this was coated in pollyester powder then clear coated afterwoods.
worked out the cars to this stage has taken roughly 9 months to dry build over the last 13 months.
did manage to dry build 2 scoots as well so not slipping to bad on times.
have to say these early cars have got to be the most basic modified cars to build.
must be even easier if you dont run fenders or running boards.
 
 
anyways its going to go a bit slower now.gotta knock down my little garage and replace it with something a bit bigger as its a standard 16x8 and this cars a touch to big for it.
well its not but its awkward to open the poxy doors.
so down it will come to be replaced by one 10.5 x 21 ft.
this will also be used as a spray room to save the workshop from getting covered in paint.

back onto the car again after spending all summer doing building work in the garden.
interior panels being made now and the pic shows the roof panel going in.
this was done with 3mm flexi ply with panel board and thick card used to do the curves.
this will at a later date be covered in thin foam then a leather headlining
