    The first coat of gloss clear highlights my first glaring blunder! With the body having primer, two coats of matt white undercoat and three coats of gloss blue, prior to the gloss clear going on I test fitted the windscreen as all windows fit in grooves from the outside, I will need to scrape out the paint around each window area! OR shave off around each 'Glass' to fit!

    Yes the decal down the side of the windscreen came away so some red paint will be carefully brushed in!

    What did you see on the road today?

    While I see the irony, there currently aren't any viable fully electric tractors for this type of hauling.  Baby steps . . .    :D

    Two companies here in the UK recently gone down in the EV business, one tried building trucks/vans, due to little or no customers. The country wide charging infrastructure is no good. A recent survey announced that in an area of London where the parliament is has more street chargers than the rest of the country combined and government want us to buy EV's without sufficient chargers to keep them running. We are two and a half hours from the coast, my small diesel does up to 60 mpg, in an EV I would have to stop at least twice to re-charge and take twice as long to get there! All Energy costs have risen so electricity can be dearer than petrol/diesel in some area's.
