DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Sorry to hear about this...very annoying, to say the least. Perhaps your paintwork is already repaired, and I imagine that what I'm about to say is obvious, but that is to check with the painter in Colorado as to exactly what materials he used. I thoroughly doubt he used cellulose...I don't think an...

Jamie, I have a pair of scoop trim rings, but not the innards. Let me know if they would help you. John CT/USA.

Did you create your own Celette substitute? Looks good. John

Post away, good sir. DDK is by far the best site for these enlightening projects., where we get to see professionals' work, not just is DIY-ers. I'm impressed with that front wing and headlight bucket repair. Looking forward to more. Best, John in CT, USA

Are you allowed to show us said Alfa and Lotus and the jobs performed thereupon? John in Connecticut.

Jamie...DUDE! That is a harrowing story! I think the current theory as to the demise of the Norseman Glen Miller was flying in across the Channel was carb icing. I remember a long drive in my Alfa GTV through the wilds of New York State at night...a bit like Dartmoor, but times a few thousand, and b...

Jamie, since you mentioned Mrs. T., I will make one brief comment, non-car related, hopefully not annoying anyone in the process: I was in the U.K. last week, and the current election must surely be the most crazy one ever. The things the main protagonists are saying....no matter where one's allegia...

My thought is that, assuming you can get this finish applied to a standard that's good enough for you, you'll forever be attracting attention you likely won't want...answering questions from inquisitive knaves and small children...why, how, what's next etc. I may well be too much of a conformist, bu...

Fantastic thread, very helpful. Thanks, John in CT.

Lovely quality work, the 356 metal repairs and the 911 paint. John in CT (USA)

Nice cars. How are those new Ford F-150's being received in England? Does the aluminium body make it more palatable? Kind regards, John.

Luvverly.

Jamie, statement of the obvious, but be sure to choose one brand of paint/materials, then stick with that product line from the undercoats/primers up through sealers and top coats. Best not to mix different brands. More importantly, take your health and self-preservation very seriously; be aware of ...

Clive, I'd be interested in your US spec H4 headlights. I'm at john.jeffries@nissan-usa.com. Cheers, John in Tolland, Connecticut, USA.
