cobraman Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 Moving forward although slowly . I did get the body pieces cleared. Worked some on the interior . As always some touch ups are in order . I was putting a single black stripe over the center of the car , hood, top and trunk lid . Had the hood done but the dreaded peal resulted . Never before . Duplicolor primer , Tamiya paint and Tamiya and blue masking . Had to redo hood and just did it satin black . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
