I am afraid, not Pete, it will be similar to the boxart. Thanks for the YouTube link.

I have made some progress this morning.

The blue parts were removed from the runners and are ready for cleaning up:

The chrome parts were removed from the runners but no cleaning up yet:

They were then put in a freezer bag of Mr Muscle Oven Cleaner:

Most of the chrome finish disappeared almost immediately but I left the parts to soak for another hour. I then gave the parts a good rinsing in soapy and then clean water:

Next step will be to clean up all of the parts, fettling their fit as I go.

That is all for now

Looking forward to this - need sound now - Steppenwolf 's Born to be Wild! etc

That's a lot of filling and awkward sanding to do, good luck.

Thanks peeps.

I have been working for hours on this build already and it might seem that nothing major has happened.

However, all filler has been sanded now and the final part at this stage was to clean up the seams on the wheel halves. It took well over an hour to do them and even now I may have missed some seams:

I have been glueing as many parts as possible prior to painting and I have just about reached the point where it is time to begin priming:

That is all for now
