I'm going to go with this. I was going to go with a mustang but haven't even got it stripped yet. This one is also a bit of a rebuilder but I have a 2nd parts kit to make up the missing parts. Not making a start until I get the filler on the woody done first.

These are a cool looking Vette mate, small, tough and can look very fast with a big engine..

Finally putting this one to good use. Nice! Yeah, it's only taken me a year of soaking in everything from brake fluid to industrial degreaser to get that blue paint off. Don't know what paint was used on it but it really didn't want to come off, but when it did it was like a latex mould of the body. I wish I'd taken a pic of it when it finally came off, it was kinda impressive, lol

Put some acrylic primer on last night but I guess it hadn't stripped as well as I had thought. It looks like there was some residue from the previous paint leached into the plastic so it's back in the stripper. Probably going to have to use enamel on this but I have a colour in mind that should look ok. I just hope it dries in time for foiling it as it's not one I can clear coat.

Paint seems to have gone well on the body. I can get going on the rest now the part I usually mess up has gone ok, phew-smiley-emoticon phew Not so good on the hood and firewall though, as I was turning the hood to do the edges I dropped them and covered them in dust and various floor particles. Now the question is do I go for a red, black or tan interior?

I like that color too, a black or light creamy tan interior would suit it I reckon mate.

Just checked the tracking on a parcel and should have the wheels and some other bits tomorrow. Gone for something a little different than normal, 20's on the front and 21's on the back but the style is more extreme. I could only find 20" tyres so I hope they will stretch onto the back ones.

Looks good, I would probably go with a black interior. But a light tan would work as well.

I would march on down to the post office and demand they get YOUR mail to YOU! I take it this is not in a mailbox or something? Did it actually go in their house or something?

Yeah, it goes through a slot in the door so I'm stuck until they get back. At least it's the decent neighbours so it's safe and not the other ones. We don't use mailboxes on this side of the pond unless it's houses in the countryside

sucks to hear about the postman dropping your package off at the wrong house....I'm sure you'll have a great plan B that will blow us all away! Can't wait to see more!
