Thank you very much Tim. I still have a long way to go, way too many parts bags to go through ?

It took me 4 days to complete, I’m not to happy with the dash. The main gauge cluster is buried and with almost every thing being black it hard to see. Check out the super tiny decals.. oh my god, I went cross eyed putting these on. Not to mention the cold sweat that came over me trying to get them to lay down ???

Are you referring to the bottom of the pan?

 I chose not to, as most of it will be covered when it’s complete. Plus it was easier to paint one color ?

Wheels look great!

So...I felt like a kid yesterday, waiting for the mail to arrive. After what seemed like a lifetime to get my RB Motion order. I then proceeded to rip into my tiny package and went directly to the work bench to start the process of installing the fittings. I didn’t realize how late it was, until I looked up at the clock and saw it was 1am? I didn’t even have half of what I needed to do, finished. I spent most of my Tuesday working on it as well. Enough of my rambling!!

Thanks for looking 

Chris

Married the two half’s, it on its feet!

Hey Chris,  now THAT is something.  You've obviously been quite busy with the build and I am most struck by the last pic.  When I see the cockpit / seats and the size of that motor, it gives you a real appreciation for what these cars were all about.   Well done sir, she's a beaut!  tim

[Brudda]

Stunning!!!
