It's something to do when it's too cold outside. I've also repainted the wire wheels as I wasn't happy with the colour (BL Old English White), one had got scratched in storage and the paint was a bit thin in places. Still an off white but now a touch creamier.

 Started on the nearside bonnet side. The one with the awkward exhaust cutouts. Two days of hand beating and riveting so far and about another day should see it ready to fit the air intakes. Trouble is my left wrist has decided to go on strike.  A little preview.

Thanks. Getting them right and lined up with the beads in the lower panel was tedious. Had to get it right first time, or scrap a large bit of aluminium (and time) as the panel is well over a meter long.
Apart from the cutouts the panel looks rather plain, but that is going to change once I can work on it again.

Thanks. Air intakes finished and riveted in place. Only really need the front one but it didn't look strange enough |

Thanks guys. Debating on adding a third intake scoop to go with the three exhaust pipes. A completely mad idea and totally unnecessary. |

Olds, don't take this as a critisism, I'm in no way quallified, and it may be a trick of the light (I hope), but is the alignment of the second one right? If your work wasn't normally perfect I wouldn't even suggest such a thing....
