In the final stages of preparation after a hell of a busy week. The shell was really straight without too much rust.. we had to weld a couple of new sections but most was panelled out and smoothed

Painting on Thursday..

Update..
Bumpers have been sprayed with drum/caliper metallic enamel.. This will last a long time.. Or until I get the chrome done.. I have a contact now called "all metal bumpers" in SYD.. They do hot rods, hi chrome resto's (AC Cobra's etc).. I'll get round to this later.. For now I just want to get on the road and show off Tonka..
Here's a couple of bumper pix..

If you're doing this.. It is definately worth the 60 bucks for new rubber

Update..29Mar04
Came out of the booth and started the rub down.. I can't believe how straight she is!.. Just goes to show that the hours spent on the prep are worth it.. Christ, I hope that we didn't miss an oxidised metal!

In the next few days we will rub the hifill back and primer coat.. Then two top coats followed by a final rub and then the finish coat.. Hopefully by the end of the week, I can start putting all the bright bits back on..
Cheers for now
Rob
