Haha - Probably the most used tool in most shops...What would we do without the spinning spark-maker 
Amazing work - Your build threads are among the "must read" content on this forum.
I bow, in awe...

Kiwi,
I think you're gonna need a shot of the car with that girl Bernica has on his for a fair comparison. . .
Fabulous work. Can't wait to see it in full dress!

I can always check on her availability. Of course, you would have to fly her there!

I would have to agree,
I have a red car heading that way I wonder how she would look against that?
Bernica, your car looks very nice, you also have some very nice pictures, including the ones with the eye candy  |

She can do red. Just give me a heads up and be ready to pay her (for the shoot)

Thanks guys!
Got the steering rack installed, then I started in on the inner ally nose panels.
All the pre fitting pays off when it comes to final fitting, just had to add the edge seal and rivet in place.  |

Jeff, that is correct, my customer picked this shade of blue and it is absolutely beautiful. 
The colour really comes to life outside in the sun. |

Next I started in on the rear panels, most of the trunk panels installed.
I did not get time before paint to get the rear inner wheel fenders fitted up, so that was today's job.
Had to be a lot more careful with finished paint on the car
Next up cover the inside panel surface, add edge seal and rivet in for good.
Such a complicated panel to work.

A truly beautiful job. So well done that Carroll is probably smiling from ear to ear as he looks down upon it!

As long as he's not listening to some of the curse words that fly about,
Got the rear edges of the floor panels all fitted. |

Next up, build the pedal box out for the brakes and clutch.
Then I installed the stainless brake lines, foot boxes and firewall.
