Fantastic paint job! But did you forget to put your drill battery somewhere safe?

Carefull not scratch it as you bolt all those bits on!

Will definately be trying the squished tube trick, will let you know when I mess it up...

Stunning work Kev .......as per usual from you

I really like that chassis , the extra bracing & all the "little" touches etc, obviously a well thought out build from start to finish

Can,t wait to see the finished car, its gonna be a cracker

cheers

Johno ir right! Now when it comes to interior trim I would not be surprised if you mastered the leatherwork on a sewing machine!
