I think the car needs stickers on the dash, semi hidden - not that loud. But something else to break it up.

Looks great as always.

I blame Don Scott. Ever since I bought that spray gun it's like the bleeding' things welded to my hand! Since the workshop now looks like a Bananarama! it I thought I better sort out the front of the Valiant before I clear the place up. Thought I'd got away without trimming the front wing for tyre clearance but when I last moved the car the tyres were catching the front of the arch. Reprofiled that and moulded a new lip Today, the rest of the fibreglass is nearly ready for primer so I'll finish that off and mask up ready to do that Monday. Once I've painted the front to match, the car will be all the same colour for the first time since I've owned it...

Got my doors back this morning so reassembled 'em a bit sharpish. Should have everything back together in a week or so.

=P~ Remind me... did you design the induction cowl or was it inspired by something?
