Now that looks the goods.

Can't wait to get mine in colour. Is that primer tinted with colour, or colour with flattner, if so how much flattner?
And who's is the truck cab in the background and what's happening with that? Is it for sale?
Cheers Sam

i have done shinny paint but they're not great, i'm to impatient and can't handle all the rubbing involved, but i'm quite happy with flat paint and it probably gets just as much attention with alot less hassle

grimbo it's acrylic with flattener it's about 10%
it's an old bedford cab it's just there for future reference i'm looking for '38/'39 chev front panels for it as the bedford ones are very ugly don't know if i want to sell it as i haven't really thought about it

lookin good ratbox

Ratbox,
i'm sure you'll be easily found at the nationals.

On a serious note it's a big improvement on what you started with. Are you going to do anymore customisation ?

Looking good, I like the louvre bonnet. Not too many but just enough.

i'de like to do full peice front windows and maybe suacide doors and also something with the tail lights

devilrod the bonnet was a top swapmeet score $50

mark, it's a bit darker than the ute but i'm sure there's some of that paint in there somewhere

i had an FC in flat purple and an A model roadster pickup also the same colour, it's starting to become a habit
