u reckon be heaps of hrs to get straight??


cheers ben

i take it you mean in my tray???
well what im doing is basicly tying it all up in there and then the hole inside will be sealed with either paint or stone guard and then possibly i could be constructing some sides and shaped covers for the hole lot,not sure yet that stage is a bit down the track ,youll just have to keep watching to see...............

Oh dnt worry i will be watching.. very very closey :)


cheers anyway

ok well a small update ,
i done the back panel of the cabin,took me all weekend but finally got it all done,basicly the process was exactly the same as the left side that i have finished so im not going to post up a million pics ,but heres the end result of the hard work ,
the process went like this
40# sand paper on the air sander
then wire wheel that gets it to bare metal
then a bit of bashing and repairs then
primer coats 4 of,,,wait till it drys {next day} then block back the primer with 120# and then 240#and reprime ,a very long process and in such a fiddly area tool me a while to get it but i think i got it looking ok,
heres the finial result shots


































so there you go 2 parts off the tray done ready to be sanded and painted ,so thats it for the moment till next time

oh thats wicked job...

loving the work ur doing mate.. AA+++
