Currently occupying my bench:









Interior finished and most of the 'bits' for the block & chassis are done, just need to bring it all together. Wheels were stripped of their 'chrome', I then undercoated them with dark grey (Rustoleum) primer stright from the rattle-can and sprayed them AK Xtreme Metal 'polished aluminium'.



Back in it's bare plastic - I had painted the bodyshell with Humbrol enamels (I don't use enamels often for car builds, but did this time), no idea how, but so much dust settled on the paint as it was drying I simply had to strip the paint off and will re-do later this week. Very odd, never happens usually !!

Progress folks....





This mornings' start point - Three light coats of enamel 'baby blue', mixed by eye and sealed-in under a brushed coat of Johnsons Klear/Future as we can't get 2K clear here in NZ.



...and this evening it looks like this:





AK Xtreme Metal 'Polished Aluminium' for the lower panel done, and the final assembly of the bodyshell has just started. Won't get much done tomorrow (Sunday) because of work, but that's fine as everything will settle & dry. Have to admit I'm VERY worried about attaching the built-up chassis into the bodyshell, I foresee a lot of swearing and temper tantrums !.



Last view of the rolling chassis before most of it disappears never to be seen again:








Happy 2018 folks from the Land of the Long White Cloud, see y'all in the New Year.
