The final push
The side fences are now finished and sprayed. The spraying really helps you pick out the imperfections and lines, so its now just a case of going round the car filling in the little nasties, applying liberal coats of high build primer and flatting down with some fine grade paper. It will be finished by the end of the week, but unfortunately the mould making guy isn't confident that the mould will be pulled from the plug in time for the Stoneleigh show. If it is ready it will be a bonus, but due to this uncertainty the size of the MNR stand will not include space for the GM bodywork :-(. Although we should have some good large scale photos on display.
Its very difficult to see the lines and shapes in the pictures under the garage lights, the fences are almost invisible from certain angles, but then from others it has created some really interesting feature lines and shadows.

Some great work here Austen, really interesting to read about. Shame you didn't base it on Westy chassis :)

Nick, it is adaptable to fit other chassis's
ReplyDeleteNow that's a great answer, if it fits most seven bodied cars you could be onto a bit of a winner with this.
ReplyDeleteGive me a couple of seasons to get to grips with driving the thing (once I've finished it!) and I'll have a word with you about this.
Nick
Well its been designed to be able to have 9" cut out the wheelbase so it will fit my new chassis which is the same wheel base as a fury. Width wise you could add wider track wishbones, or i have a sneaky plan that allows me to cut upto about 8" out of the width down the centre of the body
