Update from Steve, each coat is being left a few few weeks to harden. Anticipated completion end of September







First bit of colour, painted now so will have hardened prior to fitting doors for next stage

Hmmm, colour, getting exciting now

[Bigfoot]

Steady progress not to rush between each process to ensure everything settled and solid base for next layer....

[murph2309]

Ohh - that's a lovely colour. Very exciting!

Looking good there, Adam. Can't wait to see the finished shell in paint, in all its glory.

Bet you feel like a kid on the run up to Christmas. Looking super cool.

[Bigfoot]

Sh***ng bricks cos I can't remember what goes where

[Bigfoot]

Does the engine go in the front or back...?

[Bigfoot]

[hot66]

Looking good

Has the proposition of rebuilding the car in the kitchen been approved by the boss yet ? As the wheels are already there it makes sense to move the shell in too

Start with the suspension and have a copy of PET to hand. You'll find the first side is difficult and the second side much easier. And don't forget there's loads of people on here who can help - just getting the sequence right is part of it - there's a lot of clues on a number of threads. It is looking v cool

Engine at the back btw

Engine at the back btw

And don't be tempted into fitting Sugar Scoops

Hi Adam

I'd be interested to know the painters thinking on the colour of the underbody protection coat. I think I know the answer but I'd love to hear a proper explanation from a professional. Cheers.

Shell looks great,

Regards
Mike
