Jag – Will you behave?
I actually scrolled back through the photos fearing that I’d somehow missed how something else I’d fitted could look so out of place.
As for my overall progress, I do have some mixed feelings:
- I know the filler work I am doing is improving the worse areas of the body shell/bonnet.
- I also know that whilst I am getting a smoother surface overall, it is still “undulating”.
- I also fear that as soon as the BRG goes on, every imperfection will be highlighted.
So I can only take comfort from the positive reaction that the car got when in primer.
Yes, there will be those who will think the paint job lets the car down.
However, I really don’t care what people who know nothing about this build think.
Note: - I don’t want that to sound like I’m happy to be cutting corners within sight of the finish line.
But the harsh reality is that a high class finish requires far more preparation time than I have available.
So I will just have to accept my lot as the inbred Hillbilly cousin of the Sammio family.
Although I do live in hope that, quite by chance, the car ends up looking it was badly repaired following a big shunt in 1968.
Cheers, Paul.
