Jag – Thanks for the link, it certainly looks like a useful little tool.

Funnily enough, I was thinking about what you wrote on your build thread yesterday when I was sanding the scuttle down:

”Front clam all flatted down and ready for topcoat, smooth as a babies bum!”

As each time I sand off an area of the ‘on the road’ etch primer I am quickly reminded this really was a ’Frankenstein Hillbilly’ build.

However, the good news is that this is actually helping me to become much happier with all the imperfections I have created.

Because all the ‘lumps and bumps’ tell a story about the long and difficult journey I took to get this car on the road.

Obviously, I reserve the right to change my mind when the first coats of high build primer go on.

But if I can do a decent job flatting back the ‘undercoat’ layer, I have half a chance of pulling off the BRG.

Cheers, Paul.
