had a little shopping trip to Bealieu today 
just a couple of little problem have come up today...got new studs being as half of them were missing..turns out the just spin when you put new ones in..guess i need a new hub to... 
and who doesn't stop to think about how to get the rear valance closing panel in when they're fitting the rest of it

Whats the gravitex stuff like thinking of doing mine in it once the underside is done.
Does it make a mess of your gun much?

it's ok..just remember to leave it in a bucket of hot water for 10/15 mins before you use it..gun clean up was just as easy as with paint..best bet is to get a proper gun for it,that gives you the tube to get inside bits..

bit of a bonus half day cause of the weather..just a couple more bits of welding left after today..well on the shell that is 
still got all 4 doors to sort when i can afford the panels...
left her over the weekend for the paint to harder..no issues from the roll over the paints still there 
so being as i could get at it now got the other scuttle closer and skirt adapter done..the inner rear valance and the drip rail all welded up today..was having a good day right up till i started my power file...both rubber covers on the drive wheels went at once super glue wouldn't hold it so i guess i need some new parts for that to 
back to work tomorrow..earn some more parts money

it's easy enough to roll the shell on its side..there's even youtube vids to show you how i use old tyres to stand it on and padded axel stands under the roof line
