        It's sort of what puts me off building cars, that lovely shiny top coat. Good luck.

          Just about ready for the body work . Unsure whether to try to fit it to the chassis first , it is a very tight fit by the feel of it. Paint first and risk damage as I attempt to fit it up, or fit up and risk getting paint on the inside ?
          Obviously I would mask the inside as best as possible ......

          Is it best to prime the bodywork or just wash with detergent and dry carefully ?
          Recommendations welcome !

            Managed to get the body on OK and after removing the wheels again and masking up, got a coat of primer on.....

              Nearing completion , not had a chance to do much lately - Paintwork isn't as bad as it looks ! Going to need some polishing though ......
