Hi Fred, this one is coming along nice. I had to take a day or two break away from my Mini Cooper build so I could work on getting a new clutch in my 1:1 MG Midget. But I hope to be back to work on it in a day or two. Did you ever get your 69 Bee done?

Yeah, it was getting the dreaded throw out bearing rattle. So it was time to do something about it. Bad part about the Midgets is the engine has to be pulled to get to the clutch.

It's looking good Fred, I know what ya mean about masking off to paint trim on a freshly polished body. It's scary when you've screwed up a few that way lol.

Also did a cage. You guys that do that all the time are AMAZING!! I've got tons to learn. I started with .62 rod but that went poorly. I switched to .62 solid solder I had here and it bends so nice. I pinned it all and all straight pieces are styrene rod

Looking very sharp, nice color! Those drag slicks would look more real if they were a little more flat looking (color wise) in a appearance. Other than the pics make it look real.

Thanks guys. It should be a sweet combo with the gt500 engine and 6 speed with a few speed parts. The tires will be toned down a little when I get that far. The soft resin they are cast in really catches the light.
