Great body prep, keep the pictures coming. It seems like it's been a while since there were so many projects at different stages of construction being documented on this forum. I think it's fantastic.

Regards.

Body is now basically finished and back on the chassis thanks to some muscle from the B Club. Jason from Contagious Colour has done an amazing job on the bodywork and paint.

There will be a few late nights but I still think I can make the Nationals.

That colour looks fantastic, you must be very pleased!

Are there any issues with putting the body on after painting? I would have thought there was a high risk of paint cracking.

Are the stripes silver with a white pearl on the edges?

Thanks guys.

The stripes are PPG staight silver tinter with the vibrance pearl over the top. Part of the stripes and body were in the middle of colour sanding when the body went on, hence the faded bits in some of the photos.

Once it is all buffed it will look even better.

Cheers,

Ben
