what sort of paint did you use for it?

looks awesome 8)
better than recent SM features in terms of style

That is fantastic, considering now I've got the very same type of car in my shed as my next project.

Question - what did you do with the front you cut off. I'm chasing the RH front rail that attaches to the cross member. Do you still have the front and if so will you sell it.

Cheers
