Stuart: Thanks and that's funny man!

Thank you Paul!

Whoa oh oh Black Betty, bam da lam.


I couldn't help it...

LOL!

Got a little more bench time in tonight and got the hood opening cut out for the dual quads. Here we are all drilled...



and then cut out............



Lots of clean up left to do just on the hood. As referenced earlier, the molding process on these bodies and related parts is nothing short of sloppy.It didn't help things when I cracked the hood at the very back.

That part is currently being repaired.

I'll get past it Kari. lol .

Got the gloss coat on this morning. When I initially started spraying the gloss coat what seemed like the perfect horrorific nightmare was unfolding as I saw nothing but bubbles. I all but resolved myself to a treatment in Purple Power or brake fluid when all the sudden all of bubbles just went away and left me with this:



With the reflection of my camera and hand in the gloss finish I couldn't help but snap a couple of shots off:

OOOOOhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....shiny! I like it.

Oh man, that is beyond magnificent! What did you use for your glosscoat? I cannot for the life of me get that kind of finish! You are a Master man, I bow in the presence of greatness!

Beautiful...

Lyle: Thanks buddy!

Mark: Well not quite but ok. lol. I used Model Master "Wet Look" Lacquer from a rattle can. Just lots of prep before hand to ensure a smooth finish. Thank you Mark.

Stik: Thank you very much for the good word.

That is a superb finish Joe - like a Marine's boots!
