    No, its peer pressure..All my New England buddies show up at TROG with nicely painted stuff so I'm bringing it up a notch..However,this is a rush job so it will be far from perfect..At least a 20 footer! ha ha

    Yes my brother..out in the shop until 3 am last night..Sanding,sanding,sanding until my arms and hands couldn't sand no more!...3 coats of black on the rear half(except the decklid,total dented junk) then scuff and 3 coats of clear on the whole car..The bodywork ain't great,runs in the paint,some flaws I missed,but she is painted..Its lacquer so I can always go back and fix the shit I missed..Won't have time to cut and buff it because I'm working on the decklid which will be another all nighter!Took off from work today..I am tired,I'll be glad when it is done!

    After pounding on this decklid for hours,I decided i'd had enough! I got about 3/4 of the dents smoothed out but still a ton more work on this piece of junk!..I shot it full of louvers and painted it to match the car..Damn bugs keep landing on the fresh paint! modelapaint 006.JPG modelapaint 012.JPG modelapaint 003.JPG modelapaint 005.JPG

    Well done! It's been great watching this car come together, and your learning curves along the way. Its good to see cars built to be driven. Enjoy it.
    Cheers Aaron.

    Thanks Deuce! I can't take credit for the name.Sloppy Jalopies coined it..Just seemed appropriate being there are at least a dozen or more dead bugs in the paint!

    Thanks for the kudos! Sorry I couldn't spend more time helping you Ronnie.I think I could have gotten her figured out with some help....You came a long way in such a short time and made it to TROG.You should be proud of your accomplishment..

    So how is Little Bugger [emoji219]running? Is it near as quick as the 33 since it must weigh quite a bit less?

    The car fits the beach like a bikini...
    I was flattered when I saw that you really did name her "little bugger"...[I was just kidding around]
    congratulations from the cheap seats !
