I never enjoy doing masking but the end result is always worth it.

I ran out of paint so I've ordered more. Not doing red windows anymore. Decals look semi gloss so I don't know if I need a clear coat on this one. I'll wait until a later mock up.

The 'reveal' after masking, does make the hassle worth it some times.

I could do that and need to buy some. I do have clear red, blue and yellow in spray cans ATM. I was thinking the colours would be cool and a nod to the gasser builds.

Still going with this one. Nearly there!! Needs steer wheel and column. Fit radiator and plumbing, grill, glue rear fenders completely. Rear brakes, make blower intake manifold, headlights and bonnet. Hopefully I can finish it next week.
