Looks like you spent some quality time with the blocks and paper prior to spraying the clip. Should make the final blocking much easier. I find that I get a bit sad when the primer goes on because it hides all the fine work that went into getting the panels straight. Good job!

​​​​​​​i found I got a bit happy when the primer went on because it hid all the poor work that went into getting the panels kinda straight.

Thanks all for the kind comments. Sad thing is I kinda like bodywork and block sanding!! Just as well eh!!

That is looking good. Great work.

That is beautiful! So is that effectively all one piece now?

JTB321 07-13-2018 10:25 AM

Yup, one piece good or bad!! I prefer to have the smooth lines rather the the jointed panels, just my preference.

I like it too. Very smooth looking.

Very nicely done it looks like it came off the line like that. Now you will have to keep answering the question that is sure to come up "is it Fiberglass?", with No just a lot of hard work. Congrats on a beautiful result.
