My 64 CA77

Post by modelman » Sat Feb 17, 2018 2:38 pm

The latest is stripped & I got the tinwork back from the blasters, I am amazed at the condition, no rust whatsoever, just a couple of dents, (sorted) & I managed to throw some primer at everything to prevent any corrosion whilst it was pristine/bare.
A few hundred quids worth of chroming is at the platers & I now have to decide on a colour, I might go for the dark blue this time!!

Looks very nice. We have too many bugs in Kentucky to paint outside. I'm envious.
