@ nik - the car isint wrapped yet :-) looks like it tho
Spent a bit on the rear here it is in primer this was a in a bad way as the fiberglass was very poorly laid up
A few pin hole can only be seen when primer is painted on re-fillered and left to dry
Ok my last disks were a tad bit to heavy to fit on the wheel hubs so i am making new ones out or aluminum
Here is the template

Not sure about this stage of the project personally...first off let me say that there's been some cracking work done on the bodywork so far and I do like the whole idea of not doing 'just another' replica. I also freely admit I wouldn't have the skills or patience to get it this far.
That said, I just think those disks are letting the side down a bit. Looks a lot less noticeable in black but they are visibly not round. Also the shape of the front arch looks quite lumpy - hope that's not finalised?
Not having a dig, just constructive criticism as I think it'd be a real shame to spoil some of the fantastic touches so far by a few bits of corner cutting.
Hope you take it in the spirit it's intended.
No worries some people like it some dont :-)
Closing panel for the rear lights all hand made
