Good point about the masking tape - it is only meant to be used for a few hours or so, as it dries hard and is a s*d to get off. You can get special masking tapes that can be left on for days/weeks.

Don't panic if yours has dried on, as most mild solvents will shift it (meths, white spirit, stuff like that).

Car looks good...

Hi Kris,

Looking very tidy.

Im about to get mine its firs drive then itll be arches on. Im planning on nuts bolts and penny washers.

Ive already secured the bodywork using 2 rivets at each side top and bottom for the tub sides, 2 x dzus for the nose cone (with a couple of cable ties underneath to help and the scuttle yet to decide on. I think itll be tricky to get a drill in an I hate drilling round tube but dzus might well be an option too.

Rgds

Richie
