This mornings start point.
The bottom of the floor pan and the inside of the shell were white, so I masked the (grey) cage and interior and shot a couple of thin coats of Tamiya glossy white over the white plastic. At the same time I primed the outside of the shell with Tamiya (fine) white primer straight from the rattle can.
After an hour in the spring sunshine I hand-brushed the chassis frame the same light grey as the insides & cage and commenced assembling the underside. Rear suspension, trailing arms etc. The exhausts and block all were added before lunch then left alone to set.
I also finished-off the roll cage.

Do I remember correctly, didn't someone put advertising on the bottom of a car once? I think it was before they put the roof flaps on when they were getting airborne so often when they spun out.
Looks good Ian.
