I love those wheels & trims

Great post Jay, nice work.

The paint looks like glass, did you use 1200 wet and dry on the undercoat?

I like acrylic it's very easy to work with and touch up, a lot better than 2 pack.

My brother Kevin lives at Sawtell and worked at Family bowl.

He's the mechanic in the Muscle car masters he works on the old Forbes and Bartlett A9X car number 10 for it's owner Shaun

Hi
pulled the diff out and cleaned and painted it and the other attached piece's also new brake shoes fitted
+ diff spring pads ive been cleaning under the wagon because its been too wet and humid to do any body panel work

Nice work Jay. Yep this lousy weather certainly doesn't help in the painting department...

[EK JAY]

Yep i hear ya when it stops raining its to steamy to do any painting
even though its hot enough
on the plus side the water + surf has been warm and decent

[EK JAY]

bit more progress floor is done
