SOME MORE STEPS FORWARD THIS WEEK .
Glan has been concentrating on half of the front . A Z300 bonnet section has been used in the centre and a portion of the wings with some re-shaping , the addition of some MX250 headlight buckets and a huge lump of foam and about 6 tins of filler ...
The pictures don't really do the front true justice ...You can't see the wing to bonnet relationship , the nice valley that is running up the inside edge doesnt show in matt filler.....It is very similar to a late 50's DBR1 Aston in the flesh .....but it is looking very pretty .
The buckets have been pulled forward to match the line of the uprighted grill area , they have been trimmed back and fitted creating a lip to affix the perspex covers to eventually ...
Bonnet to body gaps have been gapped at approx. 1.5mm and filled with plasticine to preserve them ...
This pics a weird angle , but it shows the rise of the front wing ...the rise starts at the back edge of the rear door and gently climbs to its peak at wheel arch centre ...
Again , another picture that doesn't highlight it very well ..but the car has a gentle 'coke bottle' line to it as well ..flowing from the front to a 'pinch' at the rear door and gently flowing back out to the rear ...
We are hoping to get the other side mirrored next week , with some fettling and panel seperation etc. the week after ...then primer time !!
I have had some genuine interest in the car from a couple of people recently ..and , off the back of one of those conversations , this was delivered today ...
