Wow Mark, awesome mural i cant wait to see it done.... Oh and Luke, Im thinking of hand painting the whole car.... :blink:  ! !...Yeah its gonna need practice but i can always sand it off.... :D ..... Bit of an update for ya, didnt like the door panels so ive redone one side ( almost finished.. )  Im just deciding on some new scratch built seats next ! !  The bodyworks coming along, no door handles, shortened bonnet and boot, smoothed scuttle area and blended in front and rear light surrounds...Just fitting all the panels together now, more progress soon ( i hope... ! ! ) ........ Lowlife ! !

Using Mark's( wgflatliner)double #11 blade tape technique..
(thanks Mark)
I ventured into adding some scallops to the roof.
The round tape was cut using a paper hole puncher.
