Good Days Building

[YellaBelly]

Well, finally got a squirt on again, spent the day whacking some more body work together and also managed to sort out the scuttle bulkhead and engine compartment tray.

Had a nightmare trying to use the free caravan skin aluminium I had to make the bonnet (because it's a +442 the stuff I had just wasn't long/wide enough to make it out of a single piece, but I cracked it using 2 halves . Not the most beautiful thing I know, but once it's filled and painted I think it should look OK. This is a Locost after all

A few piccies for your pleasure (or comments )

Thanks Phil, the Pinto badge was the boss's idea. Came all the way from the good 'ole US of A. It's an original off a 1970 something Mustang

What will you fiil the joint of the 2 halves with JB. as I would think just body filler would crack over time. Maybe open the joint slightly and drop some resin down the gap and retighten the bolts?!?!? just an idea.. 

Really coming on though bud having the bonnet on really makes the car look so much more finished doesn't it..

Really coming along !

Agree with Bri.
You could always make a feature out of the line in a painting scheme withsome suitable striping.

Thanks for the comments guys

I intend to fill the gap with metal epoxy (JB Weld as it happens ), and the stripe down the middle has already been decided Richard . Did a little messing around with the colour changer thing here http://www.mcgregormotorsport.co.nz/mach-7-colour-schemer to get some inspiration.

At the end of the day if it cracks it cracks, I'll worry about that when it happens . Main thing is to get the car finished!
