Nice start on the "Boat tail" Ken, do a little test strip to see if you get the result you are looking for. Could save a little distress down the road. Rick H.

Hi Ken, Those compound curves can be tricky. I'd say you managed it beautifully. Rick H.

[Guest]

Couldn't resist trying a bit of varnish, I must as after 2 or three coats I think it might look alright.

That looks very good indeed.

Here are the parts that need repainting and the colour they will be.

Well I've spent most of tonight working on the exhaust (it goes down and under the car on the original version) it has to come out through the side panel on this version and on the actual car would have nuts to undo in order to move the exhaust and open the side panel. On this I obviously cant glue the exhaust to the manifold as I wont be able to put the side panel on and I cant put the side I've managed to figure a way to do it similar to the way it would have been done on the real car (will post pics when I've painted it all)
