I waffled for a minute but It's the easy ones that I can't resist. Sorry, man. That's easily the most excellently done Ferrari body I've seen. Insurance, insurance, insurance.

Thanks Sourmash

A lot Of labour ,money and too many years Have gone into the build. I have no regrets it has driven me to produce And build a car that I’ll truly enjoy and ultimately be proud of Designing , producing and hopefully A production of a hand made a body of a beautiful classic
Having said all this without the mentoring from Don O. And others on the forums I’m sure I would have struggled and probably given up as 80% of those that start projects never finish them.

Thanks for your positive comments always appreciated.

Time for a bit of a celebration , Woo Hoo I now have parts in color!!!
It's been a lot of filling, sanding, filling and more sanding since the last post I finally got all the front end sanded to 400 grit and finally got to where today I sprayed the final seal coat and then 3 coats of GM White.
I'll let the pieces fully dry then do the fenders.. hopefully tomorrow. I'll then wet sand and polish everything.
Don O came over the other day to pick up my cement mixer. While we were social distancing we talked over where the flanges should go and how he would make the molds, we are both on the same page so now starts the real work making molds. Here are a few pictures of the parts set up for spraying then with the sealer on and then the white paint, thanks for looking.

Good chatting again today Wayne. (brought his cement mixer back... ) Car looks great in paint. Some final cut polish and bunch of wax and you are ready to start molding.

Have fun and talk soon
Don
