Thanks guys, my moment of "Silver madness" obviously passed quickly and yes very chuffed with results. Like to see it with clear coat tomorrow....jwhillracer wrote:+1 Looks brilliant, you must be ever so pleased, Robin!KS wrote:Looking good? That's the understatement of the year!

There, shows we know our stuff!
What a dramatic result, superb and just so refreshing, faithful to the class it was, just so States Side.
Well done for seeing it though and resisting the call for originality at all costs!
Hope you will add some of the period details too.
Nice to see on a dull April day.

Thanks chaps - proper pics tomorrow. Hoping to fit all the panels on the car before the weekend, car will be in my shed hopefully over the weekend but happy if its Monday/Tuesday of the following week - dont want to rush panel fit/gaps. These arrived in the post yesterday from PCA - black NLA so got them in red - will look peachy.MikeB wrote:Gorgeous? Don’t you mean Looking good, Keith?

Very nice. Red, white & blue is so much better than silver.

Gosh!
Absolutely fabulous, lovely job of the lines and the colours, going to be just great (and unique).
Good on you to have the commitment to do it properly.
Looks like the lads have a sense of humour too!
