Good call on the trim Steve...............when the blue gets laid down that will be the touch to bring it up.

Charlie i was getting hassled to come and eat my tea so the scoop isn't bolted on in these pics.

Yes Steve, It no longer looks plastic anymore.

Cheers Bob, I'm thinking the very same

Been concentrating on the doors as I need to get the skins bonded on and then painted so that I can give them to the Bigbossman to wave his magic brush and do the door logos, this is a fun project so the logos will be a bit humourus :yes:
I had the door frames powder coated and made up some door cards and made up a finisher to cover up the door lock, hopefully bond the skins on tomorrow.

Here are the 2 pics missing from the above update

That ought to work Steve! The doors came out really nice, looks like you have a bit of glass fixing to do yet but that's no big deal, huh?

Cheers Dave, yep got a few bits to tidy but it's no big deal really, just the usual glass body stuff, it don't always pay to have help either !!! My mate was helping when I cut the centre out of the doors, I cut the drivers side leaving an inch all round, he cut the passenger side to the moulded line so now I have to put a lip back on all the way around

Been there done that, ain't going back!!!! One of the many reasons I really prefer working by myself---except when things go wrong I have nobody to blame but the dog!!!!!

You're lucky to have a dog to blame... Gotta blame me now..
Door frames looking good Steve..

One good thing about glass is it is easy to add material back on if you make a mistake, and a lot less welding!
Lookin good!

I like to blame the dog when we're sitting on the couch watching TV...
Conversation usually goes like, sniff sniff sniff , "I didn't do that! Must've been you! - Nope wasn't me! Must've been the dog!"

Harder to use as an excuse when laying in bed....

Cheers guys, I'm hoping to get the skins bonded on tonight, then i can start priming for some paint.
