Looking good as always.
Have you made a body dolly from an old chassis and some castors as that's a great idea.

Just gonna be black, also sprayed on the outside with raptor but it'll be using a gun for a smooth finish.

Cheers Anton :thumbup:

Started cleaning up the front clip last night, might even have it in a coat of primer this evening.

Is the sandblaster any good? I've been looking at getting one of those siphon ones.

It's ok for small jobs.....but it's far too slow for the amount of blasting I need to do during most builds so I'm going to buy a proper pressure pot set up soon (not one of the Clarke/sealey style ones) Not gonna be cheap but it'll save me a lot of time. TBH my gun is pretty old and worn out as well so that doesn't help :lol: the gun in my blasting cabinet works a lot better.
