Your WINCH looks perfect nestled in the cage..sorry I'm typing this on the line lol
Looks like you have space along the side for some chain hangers / binders too !
Spraying hot paints over the rivets ? Hmm unsure, I used tamiya fine white or gray over mine then their same paint . You'll definitely want something of a topcoat thats not terribly thick to avoid covering them up..hence your lacquer plans
Tough looking little rig ! Good work getting the sleeper cut down, all those rivets and uneven seams really make these swaps alot more work. Good thing archer sells the rivets to replace them if you decide to go that route
Looking forward to your build ! I wanted to build a European truck w trailer tribute to the Bulmer cider plant in England. Ill have to source a resin hood, not much available in kit form
Gorgeous work, and those decals are phenomenal.
I attended his last Bristol night race when Jeff drove the throw back Rainbow paint scheme ..so awesome
