I have the rear wired screws fitted and the front rivets also
Pretty much flush on the inside but enough not to cause a problem
Also need to fit the instrument panel before i can fit that part of the body
Still need to add the "3D" parts but quite pleased with this flat version.

What did you use for the brass bezels on the dash?

O. M. G.!! This level of skill is inconceivable! And yes, that word means what I think it means LOL. I am in awe here. A goal to shoot for for sure.

Sad day here with one eye on the TV and the Queens funeral and the other on my ignition system and plug leads.
You do get the distributor in the kit but they have it wired direct to the plug caps and dont use the overhead rail to "tidy" the leads as they should.
It would be near impossible to actually thread the leads down the tube and out the exit holes so a bit of deception needed
home made plug caps using 2 diameters of plastic tube
And fitted in situ
I still have to wire the coil into the distributor but that should be easy after the plug leads

Coil is on which finishes the ignition and i have also formed a brass mesh dome for the air intake on the super charger.
The headlamps are just one piece shells with a lens so you have to mask off your own rims and alclad them in shinny
Main body is n now
I now realise there are windscreens and frames to add but there are no markings or fixing for these, I wish i had put the frames on before i sprayed the body.........and there was me thinking i had planned this build
Body is held on with screws but you could glue it and fill the holes. If you do that, glue it and hold it in place with the screws then take the screws out later.

Looking sweet, the leather seats look comfy. Can you do anything to the firewall, looks a bit monotone right now.
Real subtle, we know they would keep this motor clean.

All of this lockwiring and little tender detailing would be enough to drive even me to the breaking point. Just splendid work going on with this bad boy of a car.
