As I was asked I thought I'd give a quick update on the shell preparation.....
....of late the long-block has been King.....
....Chris is a former work colleague who left to set up his own specialist paint correction and valet business and whilst he builds his customer base he's agreed to paint this car on a part time basis working 2 or 3 days a week......Chris is a very talented guy, he did a fabulous job on Kieron Witt's 2.4E and is super enthusiastic about completing this project to the highest of standards....
....after initially getting the car in epoxy, the underside was tidied as required before a second coat of epoxy and primer....
....with the underside complete he's now working on the laborious process of making the body flawless and flowing.....
...Chris has been in awe of the quality of Barry's work and couldn't believe how little filler the roof needed considering a new panel has been welded in....
....feel, far more than eye, will dictate final shape.....
....and with the off-side pretty much done a second coat of epoxy shows off the lines wonderfully, these photos don't do the work justice...
....Chris will now move onto the near side and then we'll be close to primer and colour, steady progress although that will be a couple of months away.
I'll report back then unless anything exciting happens in the meantime
Cheers,
