John, you just gave me a "Eureka" moment. Every time I would re-putty after primer, I would sand down the areas to be retouched. I never occurred to me that the putty would bite into the primer.

You just saved me tons of work.

Hello........thank you all so very much for the kind comments........I really do appreciate them :) ...........I attached the battery and made a fire wall and attached the Jag componets to the the fire wall .......I also finished the interior ,purple velvet flocking and I modified the steering yoke that Gordon Clark sent me to resemble the original..........I also got the body painted.......I starrted with a H.O.K. Shimering gold base coat at the nose to a Shimering Silver fade at the back.........then I started to airbrush in the middle with the H.O.K. Kandy Pagan Gold fade to a H.O.K. Kandy Tangerine fade ,to a H.O.K. Kandy Red fade.......then I went the other way with H.O.K. Organic Kandy Green fade ,to a H.O.K. Cobalt Kandt Blue fade to a H.O.K. Kandy Purple fade.......and then a clear coat........I will sand down the clear coat today and give a final clear coat........thanks for looking.

Oh my gawd!! That is stunning. Your paint jobs are spectacular lil brother. Now my eyeballs hurt and I need to go and change my undies.

Your work is simply beautiful, as always. I also admire your discipline: you stayed true to the original, and I know how creative you can be. Btw, I would have made a quick resin copy of the seat after all the effort put into it (I need to save all the time I can because I'm slow and lazy), but your way probably does look better. Great model!
