BloorwestSiR 11,620 Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 I finally decided on a color for the headlight buckets. I thought about chrome but was concerned it w ukdnt match the trim rings. Next up was purple like the fenders. I finally went with black as per the instructions. I used the new Tamiya lacquer paint for this. I'm really liking it. Thins and sprays really well, dries fast with a nice gloss too. Assembled and attached to the fender stalks. They were then attached to the chassis and then the front nose cone. Next up was the front fenders. The front wheels bolted on, Shawn M and MARU5137 2 Link to post Share on other sites
BloorwestSiR 11,620 Posted April 10, 2018 Author Share Posted April 10, 2018 Here's where I am for now. I'm finally closing in on the finish line after starting this nearly 24 years ago. The windshield, taillights and marker lights are all that's left so hopefully it'll be done by the weekend. Carl Gazzas, Shaka HI, Shawn M and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites
