there is no scratch, the paint is that shiny it is reflecting the plastic sheet

Looks like a scratch to me:




The scratch is a special kind of foul in pocket billiards. The most common scratch occurs when the cue ball goes into a pocket or jumps off the table. It's a table scratch if the cue ball remains on the playing surface but the shooter fails to fulfill certain requirements: for example, if the cue ball doesn't touch an object ball.

White has to be the easiest color to lay in the world. I did a lot more prep on the doors and it really shows in the final result. The paint is glass smooth and I cant wait to get clearcoat on. Will finish preparing the fiberglass hood tomorrow and then spray that and then remove the roof skin off my donor roof................. how I love long weekends!

My cage builder is taking some pictures as he goes so I thought I would post them up. Still early days but in 1 day he has made some good progress. Up close his welds are a thing of beauty!!!!!

My pleasure Dan!

When we will meet at the track for my first race, I will probably go ask you for some advice or help!

And I'll go touch that sunroof delete...

My health problem is now solved, so I'm a new man. And maybe the thanks should go to mother nature , otherwise that tub would have been in my garage

I am really looking forward the progress on your car.

Keep up the good work!
