Paintwerks' Absolute Pace 427SC build thread

[Paintwerks]

Apologies for the long hiatus from providing updates. The reality is that I've been so busy with my customer's vehicles, that I haven't had any time to work on my own (it's always the way!).

I've finally managed to break the car down for bodywork and paint. Have finished the filler work and she will receive highfill primer on Monday morning. The body is really good as delivered so it doesn't need all that much filler work (compared to other DRB's and Harrison Cobras I have worked on and painted in the past). Will let her sit in primer for about a week until I block her down again and get ready for topcoat. Being conservative, I'm hoping to have the car on the road in mid-late October, but there may be some small stroke of luck that I could get her ready for the Nationals. Will be pushing it however.

Colour-wise, well, I'm keeping that under wraps until I finish her. It will be metallic and it will have stripes....that's all I'll say for now.
