This is really looking quite smart.

I concur with all above that bonnet really starts to make it look iconic.

Sorry for being late Peter, not very well at the moment.

This is coming along superbly, kudos on the paintwork and the build, lovely work!

Awesome job so far mate

Moving on a little bit further i have the rear body on as well as the floor.

The body has not yet been painted as it needs to set but one tip don't put the seats in before the body as it makes putting the body on easyer.

In case you are interested and haven't seen them, here are two build reports from Britmodeller covering the Bently Blower, the first (incomplete) from 2008 and the second (still current) from last October:

I have done a little more today some filling in on the body and some work on the dashboard and despite the age are perfectly usable i have put some detail on such as a starter button and some fuel lines under the fuel taps.
