Pman, you are breaking your rules again. I think it is time to 'revise' your rules for good!
I have to admit that I'm not a fan of this style of car, but I do love those wheels. I can't wait however to see the Pman magic touch on this one.

Today was sanding day !!.
After having a better look at the chassis it really needed a lot of work to sand out plenty of mold lines on all the different parts. After 3 hours it was ready to be assembled. The rear end and front took a bit of mucking around to get the parts to fit but turned out OK. The chassis had quite a “twist” in it and I had to straighten it by heating the front section with a hair dryer and twisting it back into shape. Once it is finished it will all be sparayed in one colour to keep the Hotrod theme. Here’s a few pics of it almost finished with the engine sitting in to see how it fits etc

Have you glued the chassis together allready? The suspension (A arms, springs, spindles and rear housing) and frame all getting painted together?!? I take it that it is not primed yet, do you intend to prime these before painting?
3 hours of sanding....how do you have such patience?!? Keep us posted, I've searched the background of all the pics in this thread trying to find hints of the color you will be using. No sight of any spray can OR the Kiwibot!  -Rick

The guards will be done in gloss black. So i'm wanting a nice dark deep colour to go with it. One idea i did think of was spraying the whole car in Matt Black for a real early 60's look

Body finally got painted today and it's been outside drying
Running boards painted in TS-14 Gloss Black Body in TS-51 Telefonica Blue Engine painted in Mach Blue MS-4 Took quite a few coats of blue to get the body covered. Has around 7 coats of paint on it. It has to be applied in very light coats. You can see from the first pic(after one coat only) how lightly it needs to be when using this colour. The blue gets darker as each coat is layed on. Very important to get the colour even as it will turn out different shades of blue. The first 2-3 coats are painted from around 10-12 inches from the body....moving it very quickly so that the paint is just landing onto the model.....this makes it dry quicker and allows you to paint heavier finish coats later on. There is still a slight amount of white that can be seen in some panel lines but should dissappear when painted black. Went for a nice dark gloss colour to bring out the nice smooth lines of the body. Ended up doing the engine a different shade of blue which IMO makes it stand out better. Will need a good rub with some compound followed by a final wax. Still got alot to go like engine/chassis detail etc...but its coming along nicely so far.
