Well, i have failed you all. There will be no update, i cleaned the shell etc and shot a coat of primer... and... and... and the filler work needs some more smoothing out, the primer really helped me to see what needed doing!

Definately a mounted pic tomorrow lads!

Well last night i primered my shell, and i could see all the lines where the filler met the body, so i set about flattening it all with 600grit Silicon Carbide paper, using lots of water to get a very smooth finish. i then applied more filler to keep the body-lines near enough perfect.

Will finish it all off tomorrow and then shoot the primer, and maybe the silver, and will report back here with it mounted on my Chassis.

Lookin' good, Mikey!

It's really starting to take shape!

[Shodog 1835]

That is starting to take a nice shape.  My advice is to take your time on this body.  Forget about all the guys in this thread pushing you to see more progress. 

[Peter James 0]

Forget about all the guys in this thread pushing you to see more progress. 

Excellent advice, Jim!

STAY TUNED TO FIND OUT TOMORROW

Mike

MIKEY! Top work, Laddy! I bet you're the coolest kid on the block with that ride. It really has come together nicely and your hard work is apparent. Keep it up, chap! Throw a driver in that thing and you're all set to go...

[MikeT 0]

LOL, RC is nearly none-existant with people my age

There WAS a driver in, it fell out when Erica crashed into me!

 

Mike

[BiggusDitchus 38]

it looks great fella, and thank your lucky stars all that happened was your driver fell out. My scorcher faired worse in her hands.. nose cone is now in 3 or 4 pieces.

[mr_pushrod 5]

Great work Mike, doesn't look half bad for an old Volkswagen []

[Peter James 0]

LOL, RC is nearly none-existant with people my age

Which is exactly why you are the coolest kid on the block []

[MikeT 0]

Rich- Yeah, your's definately came off worse!

Alan- Thanks, and yep, it's an old air-cooled rattley Veedub

Peter- LOL!

[Badboy 94]

Awesome Baja!!!

You hit the nail there!!!

Hopefully my next project will come out half as good as yours (then

i´m satisfied).

Cheers

Cheers Badboy! Like i said in your thread, need help, shoot me an email!

Right lads, i got bit by the boredom bog and re-painted my bug

As they say, you have 20/20 in hindsight, and i would DEFINATELY do this again, as i think it looks stunning, and would reccomend anyone else to do it!

Just waiting on decals now ( Eh Rich? )
