Projects The “truth” roadster build

Great progress. Thanks for the updates.

 

Super cool build.

 

Got the body now in high fill primer
Sneaking up on get the paint on
Trying to find the balance between close enough and an awesome paint job, not sure that it’s going to be awesome but if the paint stays on and looks ok it suits me fine.
Paint colour comes under the “ hues of poo” spectrum.

 

and yes I did stuff up when I sprayed that headlight, rookie mistake , I put on a couple of coats and then proceeded to do a light misting type coat , anyways

 

Feel your pain. Painted a HD tank 4x over the winter.....

 

On to the wiring ,
Working out where to run the wires takes the majority of my time when l last did this ,

 

Nice, is that a Speedway kit?

 

its a rebel kit, I used an american autowire kit on my 36, I prefer the american autowire kit mainly due to wiring diagrams

 

Making progress, it got lights and indicators and l haven’t any caused a fire,,,,,,yet
Feels good putting the steering wheel on , it’s starting to come together

 

Congrats Wandi and it looks like your going to have a real blast of a hotrod when your done...

 

*****in build! Great progress!

 

So the weather here has started to warm up so l figured it was a good time to get the rest of the car painted, l am reasonably happy with the finish.
It’s not perfect, l don’t need perfect as this car is going to see some serious country and l am really not good at keeping cars clean. I will do some colour sanding to flatten it a little.
Next week it’s booked in to the engineer, registration requirement here. He will hopefully sign off on , seat belt mounts, collapsible steering column, ch***is work etc. Just part of the process.
