Distributor installed and leads attached to engine and exhausts added, then engine fitted to the chassis.
Gentle persuasion needed to get the rear axle to sit correctly and some croc clips to hold the exhaust to the rear pipes while it all sets.

Looking good, very detailed.

Interior work.

I have been trying to get a better finish to the bodywork on my cars,
I mixed this colour myself, it is Tamiya Olive drab, some black and some silver.
I sprayed it with about 8 coats, after an undercoat, and gradually increased the amount of thinners and increased the amount of gloss varnish each time I sprayed.
This is the result after leaving well alone for 48 hours.
This needs detailing.

I think that it looks great. The multiple coats and changes in the paint mixes look like they worked out well for you.

I think they did, I now need to mess up adding the chrome around the windows and other small details.

The chrome from Green stuff also comes in a brushable form.
My hand is not as steady as it used to be, will touch up when dry.
The chrome stuff is alcohol soluble - much like Martin!

But, it is still not long enough, maybe 3 days, life is too short, I can feel a slight tackiness when I touch it.

Excellent work Dave. You are now the club's expert on 'all things chrome'.

Is that because 'she who must be obeyed' has placed you too near the microwave again.........

Car now assembled and a few engine bits still to add, coil, hydraulic lines, battery leads, top and bottom hose and so on.

Knockin' them out like Hot Peppers.........
Looks very sleek. Final stretch ahead.
