The chrome-work is nearly painted. The rear indicators are in place. The wheels are painted.
Just a bit of assembly and painting the wheel spinners to go.
As I'm working Mon and Tue (lucky me) today and tomorrow will be lots of Xmas prep work. I might manage an hour or two at the bench.

Lots of thought and effort gone into this. It looks terrific. I think you've pulled off the peeling paintwork very well. Merry Christmas.
