got the rh door jam and back tail lights n beaver panel done aswell we had beautifull 40 degree days in adelaide over the weekend shed was about 50 i think :dontknow][/url]

Well done Daryl, top effort in the heat, that must have been driving you nuts!
It's going to be a great car on the road, not much looks better than a Cottillion White SS 5 litre Hatchback. It's one of my dream cars.

What did your mate do Daryl? I had a prick of a time with my doors on the race car.
I have a bit to learn still in body work, the race car was good to start on, but I would hope to do a much better job on my next one.

hey craig there were a lot of little dents so he wiped the whole door with filler we rubbed most of it off then we polyester high filled it 4 coats twice come up very good if we could afford it new skins would be the go but this is a budget build so we did the best we could...and dont worry i think you have done an amazing job on your race car mate body work is a very hard thing to get right thats for sure unless you have done it for years can be very challenging...

Good choice....I've been toying with the idea of painting mine Cotillion white & about three other colours but it'll be good to see your sons car painted & It wouldn't be to far off for the SS to see some colour
Are you giving the hatch a lick of paint.
