Looking at the straight line reflections of the flourescent lights shows how well the preparation has been done.

Excellent job, can't wait to see it in the flesh.

I like it

Love the finishing touches, have you finished it now?

chargerstang · #**147** 7th June 2013, 20:51

NO

strip's around the front and back, Inserts for the Front (honeycomb style)
Shorter Springs with 25mm drop in the front only. External battery disconnect switch with red handle and so on
A permanent building process

Tomorrow we pick Irfan's MX from the painter.
I'm curious to seeit his red finish is top class

They both look fabulous. I can't help thinking you guys need a blue one now to recreate some famous scenes from The Italian Job.

Looks fantastic!! Well done, I wish I could keep up the sanding motivation...

Looking good, the gold stripes look the business.

Where did you get the boot handle/lock from?

Cheers

chargerstang · #**152** 8th June 2013, 20:36

This Handle is from a 72 VW Käfer (bug / beetle)

chargerstang · #**153** 8th June 2013, 20:37

tonyt · #**156** 8th June 2013, 22:04

Love what you have done with the kit, do you know any thing about Hanomag Henchels? (Mercedes 206D).

chargerstang · #**157** 8th June 2013, 22:09

Hi,
*I'm glad you like it.
But sorry about the Mercedes, I have no idea

Thanks, Just found 1 on ebay for 18GBP, I´m going to order 1 and have a look at maybe replacing the door handles with them as well as the boot as per the original GTO, this may be scraped after a few hours of my swearing at it and it will end up on the boot!

I think Irfan just want only the big white dots on the start numbers.
Let's see what comes up. His red GT500 has white stripes,

his dark blue 427er Cobra has white stripes

...... want to see.

Today I went a little long with my MX. That makes me the moment more fun than my orange supercharged Mustang. The best ever only 1/2 of gas
