Back to my car then , took a test drive today some rubbing on the rear right of the fiberglass (with suspension under load ie. me sat in it), re visted the area with my angle grinder and will road will test again, still have to sort the inner arches though so should be fine.
|
Inner wing adjusted with a tapometer, problem solved. Longer test drive today with sun shining and roof down, just need to get the sanding and filling finished.
|
Hi Tony Ive been rubbing down for te last week & still at it , but for filler you sould try 40 grit free cut or production papper it really takes it down then use a high build primmer to fill the snading marks,no need to use a finner grit untill its primed
|
Thanks for the tip, this is the seccond fill and sand.

Drove it to the paint shop today, he was impressed with the car and agreed not to paint it red, he then looked in a big book of paint codes, and it seems white was not used by the Italian car manufacturer untill the early eighties, he now wants to paint it a 1968 yellow, but I'm not so sure?

My uncle doubts my car building ability so he sent this to my parents
http://www.craigboyce.com/w/2012/02/walmart-car-show/ Thanks Hammy, the donor is green so door shuts need paint anyway and there is little to see of the engine bay, Its not a replica and the wheels are early eighties, so I'm back to classic white. |
Hi tonit, I read your report.
That fascinated me, built totally cool in front of the garage. In snow and ice. Your MX we will look at the Raodtrip in 3-4 weeks. Do you really want a yellow? regards Henry |
White I hope.
|
White is one of my favorites
I prefere between red, white, or a Gulf paint |
