Got some paint on them today, here it is with the first coat of paint. I see I have some bubbles to take care of.
And the stocker.
Paint is Tamiya Green Metallic, and Lavender.
Now I have to do the frame, and cage painting yet, then assemble it all.

Looking good Junior. I like how you've roughened up the sheet metal on the 57. Looks very realistic!

Update on this build, I had issues with soime bubbles in the paint so decided to make it look like a project in use. I sanded out the bubbles, and primered the spots.
I did this is his daily driver/ on going project, so he needs it day to day.
Also someone mentioned no fenders on the trailer, so I made some from sheet aluminum.

Got the seat in today along with all of the various cables, and lines. I built a battery box, but the paint is still drying on that yet. Seat belts were made from duct tape, and the padding for the rollbars is wiring insulation. The shifter boot is from a rubber fishing lure. The box in the middle contains the starter switches, and the fuel shut off.

Made some new exhaust dumps from some brass.
We didn't run generators, or alternators back then so I removed the kit belt, and made a new one from strip stock.
Added a torque chain, and got most of the plumbing done.
Here's a couple of pics for the fun of it. I see I am going to have to open the hood for air cleaner clearance.
