day two (today)

todays little update:

sadly the camera hasn't focused too well on the car when being welded/filled, i think in a small window it will surfice though, that will be up sometime tomorrow.

todays mods consisted of:

removing and welding over the wing repeaters, and ariel hole, along with the boot emblem and then repairing the wings as they were dented. this was done and i got it into the booth for primer last thing, also managed to get one of my guys start the fusor process on the sills, this was also being filmed closer up

pictures of todays work, nothing dramatic mind haha







total man hours today around 10,

tomorrow, flat and paint of the shell/roof and the repair mods of the other panels
