Of course.
The first time you use the brakes it all comes off perfectly. It would take you a long time to mask up the bits you did not want painting and it would not be as accurate. |

It was a solid template.
We love it even when it snows! |

Just standard rattle cans here. Ive done track days and the paint still stays on. It is rubbish that you need special caliper paint.

Progress was slow again today. Front badge is on now. Spent several hours getting the sliding side windows to fit properly. Including rubbing them down and first couple of coats of paint to the frame.
I then had to go and get Nicks car from paint and then take Scotts car over for paint.
Finished the filler panel on Brendan Koupe and fitted the front headlights. I'll post some photos tomorrow just did not get time today.

I'm still leaning towards the 275, but this is the 250 I'm most looking forward to seeing.

If you go down to the woods today.....
Finally the Koupe is drivable. The customer is collecting it tomorrow and it will then have a full stainless straight through exhaust fitted. Hes going to do some work on the stock interior then return it to us for final snagging and a cut and polish on the paint ready for Stoneleigh. There are many more high-res photos on our website. www.nubodi.co.uk

Very nice indeed 
Can the side mirrors be used on this one. They look like they fit the bill as opposed to the bullrt type

The word superb seems to be applied to just about anything with 4 wheels these days on this forum but......this really is superb - superb shape (Tribute) superb finish (Nubodi) and despite saying I wasn't keen on the colour previously I have to say I was wrong because that also, is superb.
Never mind a dog with 2 tails Brynn must be like 20 tails with a dog attached!

Yes Dave, perfect vision. The rear mirror view however is like looking through a letterbox, the downside to a beautiful shape.
I still prefer the Ital mirrors as they are more accurate. |

Ironically the Clapton car doesn't have wing mirrors, like quite a lot of 250s - surprised that are that many left on the roads!

Nubodi - Well done Richard, the car looks absolutely amazing. 
I've just added it to the collection in the "Useful Links" thread.
Good luck with the next one, Paul.
