Black pop this car and thread are amazing. Your car is true credit to your skill and determination! Trouble is while i was tentatively reading this thread from the start at page 10 i cannot see any pics until page 19 as it says 'exceeded band width' Is this down to me connection or your pic host?
Again, top marks for one of the best builds on here!

[blackpopracing]

Thanks very muck Hicksy, don't know if its one of the best builds on here though, there are loads of good cars being built.
Sadly its my image host, they changed recently and now have restricted their hosting unless I pay them!! which is not on!!
I've shifted to another host, but need to swap a lot of them over. They should be back online in a few days though.

Update coming soon, but here's a new toy ;D yay!

[J.P]

Awesome Awesome Awesome!

Read from where I left off (July!) and your progress is good. Those grilles are Art!

[blackpopracing]

It's a really big present waiting to be unwrapped ;D

[metromon]

damn, more parcel paper in that than the post office h/q haha!

love this thread, amazing work! keep it up

[blackpopracing]

well its back from the post office and I've unwrapped it so we now have a shiny inner roof panel and all inner panels are also glossed.



I only photo'd the roof though.

[Oldbus]

Looking good sir.

What´s up next? ;D

[paulb]

you don't waste any time do you young man......

[stealthstylz]

Can't be long now Mark, bet you're getting excited about giving it a blast down the street.

[blackpopracing]

Oldbus, not sure, probably prime & gloss the cage & chassis once I've got my head around how to mask it off.
Matt, I wish its still a long way off yet

[blackpopracing]

Spent all day today with the car off the trolley and up on stands. This gave me enough room to lie underneath and seam seal all the joints on the sills and around any brackets etc.
Another marathon masking session soon I think so I can paint the chassis and the inner window surrounds.

[blackpopracing]

Wooo!! had to drag this up from the depths of the forum
Been a bit lax on the updates due to being sidetracked by a new G/F who is rather nice ;D

However I have managed to do some work on the car too

The lower chassis rails and inside of the sills are now all sealed and primed, no photos yet, sorry

I also did more marathon masking sessions and got the rear tubs and shelf area primed;



I did gloss it all too, but forgot to take photos but here it is when its all been masked off ready for the next bit.



Rear window frame masked off after glossing ready for side windows to be done.



I did remember to photo the side frame before masking it off



Next will be the door frames, dash and above the screen.

Hi Mark,

Was getting withdrawal symptoms, funny though, we spoke about you over the weekend,
I said I wondered how you've been getting on, then blow me, he you are.
Looks stunning mate, total testament to your patience.
Cheers, Le.

Flip me - You got shares in the company that makes brown paper and masking tape ;D

[blackpopracing]

Hi lee, your Mini is looking sweet too, got some bits for Wayne for your car today.
BC, yeah too right!! the brown paper is dirt cheap for 200 metre rolls (about £8) but the masking tape I reckon I own shares in the company now. Local factors is cheap tho, bout £1/roll.

I bet xmas is fun in your house ;D

[blackpopracing]

Wow!! really had to dredge the forum to find this thread again, any deeper and it would have been in Australia ;D

Work, christmas, skiing hols and lumpy jumpers have been holding up progress of late, but progress has been made.

The last you saw was the masking, but now the entire front of the inside of the car has been painted. This is the door jambs, sills, above the screen, the dashboard and the bulkhead frame. Some of the cage has been done as it blends to the body, the rest will be done next.

Here it is masked and in primer,



And by the wonders of the net, here it is all finished ;D



Another view from the back of the car,



While that was drying I knocked these trestles up at work,



Which will be very handy to paint these



More soon (promise!!)
