Thanks for the comments.

I got some paint on the interior and engine bay today.

I should get some paint on the body tomorrow.

After some white primer and a light sanding I gave the body a couple of coats of blue, followed by another mock up.

That's a nice shade of blue.

One of the first cars I owned had an almost identical primer finish

I've got a bit more work done over the past few days. The engine has been finished and fitted to the chassis, along with the radiator.

The hardtop has had the portholes fitted and Bare Metal Foil applied to the trim.

I'm not sure if it'll be finished in time but if I can get a few hours in on it this week I should get it done.

It will be worth the wait whatever happens Tim.

After wet sanding the paintwork to get a smoother finish I applied Bare Metal Foil to the various areas of chrome trim.

That's very nice Tim - are you going to need a few days extension or have you got too much left to do?

(Please don't rush it to finish - It's too nice!)

Cheers
