Nice thoughts there Allan. As I recall the bonnet needs a good bit of reshaping to fit the back of it correctly. I like the sound of the orange clear - will be looking forward to seeing the results.

That paint really pops in the sunlight. Hope you can fix it and get it finished soon. With so many 40 Fords being built at the moment, maybe I should rebuild mine as well. No, better finish off the other kits that i have in the process so far. It will have to wait.

Can't wait to see this one finished.
