No clear coats at all, just 2 coats of Tamiya Fine Surface Primer and 8 coats of Tamiya TS14 (Black), rubbed back with wet and dry between each coat then used Tamiya Compound and then waxed.

1st off - @ the car so far!!!

A couple of Q's:
8 coats of paint - all wet coats (apart from the 1st few coats)? Or did you spray light coats through out?
Sanding in between each coat - how long did you wait before sanding and what grit of sandpaper did you use? And again how long after sanding did you spray the next coat?

Looking forward to the completed car!!

Test fitting of the engine and other engine bay parts, strut brace etc are not glued just placed for now. Not sure I'm that happy with it all, but not too bad for a 1st attempt.
I know the Radiator is not fitted, but I needed space to check the fit.
What do you all think?

What do I think? I think that you need to give your self a lot more credit for that bad ass car you are making.

By the way, If your not totaly happy with it then whats wrong?

It's beautiful work. If I had to guess what he's not happy with it would be the engine bay itself. Right now it's pretty bare, the engine and all is awesome, but there are a lot of other pieces/parts that comprise an engine bay that are missing right now. Things like the brake booster/master cylinder, abs controller, misc wires and other boxes would help fill it in and give it a more realistic look.

The engine bay is perfect. I don't see how you are unhappy with it.
