Seat drawn up and occupied - when is coffee being served?

Due to my wife’s illness I had to put this one down for a bit so I could help her out after her Chemo treatment.
I’ve started back and here’s where I am.

My OCD got the better of me and while trying to get the body to look better I screwed up the paint. Luckily everything else is perfect. Now I just have to completely red redo the body and they’ll be ready to put together.

I guess we all screw up from time to time 🙆♂️, goodluck on the 2nd attempt 👍 cheers

C'est la vie, I am sure that the Dearborn factory and all us car modellers have done the same, I know that I have.
Will be superb when completed, my mate in South Africa had one in bottle green metallic with silver striping ( note to self - must buy Mach 1 kit and paint, plenty of space to store them, don't tell wife ...............).
Keep the updates coming.

If you fall off the horse, get back on and let it know who's boss...

All the best for everything you're coping with at the moment.

Watto 👍

Thanks guys, I really like this for him because everyone on here is so positive and supportive. I’m trying to find a new body to start over with because I really screwed the pooch on the paint. So either a new body or I try to strip the paint completely and start over.

[Jukebox64]

Had to wait for the paint to dry before I could start the clear and the decals and now I’m waiting on my second windshield to arrive so I can complete the car. Here’s what I have so far.

Done!!!

[Steven000]

Well done 👍 looks very nice

Very nice indeed with the correct engine colour. Impressive in white with black striping.

[Jukebox64]

It’s an exact color of one I found on the Internet.
