I know the arches look terrible fella but believe me it's just because the lights had gone off in the booth and I wasn't sure how to turn them back on. They're as good as the rest of it but there wasn't a fire escape window shining on them so wait until it's unmasked and you'll see it all looks top.
The plan is not to remove the wings thats why we spent a morning lining everything up before it was painted so as we could have the wings sprayed in situe for that factory look.
Underneath is painted same as the bodywork and staying like it as i'm a 'shiny freak' LOL
Well it's been another busy and very exciting morning! Got into work nice and early with a bit of a hangover and found the car looking like this which blew us away.
Still standing there staring at it wasn't what we came in to do so we set about fitting the roof. To begin with we taped the car up anywhere the glue was likely to spread that we didn't want it getting on and keyed up the areas we were glueing to. Next we got our selves set up with all the glues, rag etc we were gonna need and set about applying it.
Then simply dropped it into place and clamped the front edge down then went back to standing staring in awe at it!
After about an hour of that we decided we could swap the bolts for the cage over to the final build ones rather than the nasty things that were in it before.
We then decided if were going to get the shell home it would need wheels on it so we dashed back to the garage and reassembled the axle so it can be refitted monday.
As always thanks for looking, and we really appreciate everyones comments
Thankyou all for the comments it certainly spurs us on to know people are excited to see what we're up to.
Northy, sorry missed your question. At the moment the plan is to get the car assembled and then make a choice about stickers then but they won't be a full graphic kit if we do just a few little markings. Oh and we're tempted by one of your elf stickers for the rear screen too.
