Ready for the paint shop!

Well this week I have been really busy getting the rest of the things mocked up as the body is off to Martin Curbishly's tomorrow for paint! The bonnet has been drilled to accept the bonnet handle and all the trim and the rear wings have been drilled in the correct position for the tail lights. The doors have both now been 'lightened' and the inner frame cut for a 1 one piece window. A few pics below..



So this was the inner frame that needed to be cut away to allow a single piece of lexan to fit.

And this is the end result, just a little bit of tidying up and its good to go! You can just make the holes in the door I have drilled to help lighten it. Once the door card is fitted the holes will not be seen!
I was also able to trial fit the Aeromotive fuel pump and filter after finally ordering the proper billet mount for it! I was originally planning on running the pump under the tank on the bulkhead but there wasn't enough room! Plus this way there is easy access if there is a problem!

Tomorrow Spencer will be round in the morning and it the body will be off for paint at last!
