Well its taken me a while but got Dad's T34 pan blasted again and some minor filler work done:

Then finally into epoxy and high build primer:

Now some fine tweaking and remaining filler work and then spot prime and lastly some gloss schwarz!

Also been busy colour sanding the KG body:

Long process but worth the effort. Hopefully will have the body reunited with pan in next couple of weeks and then the other bits can start going back together - other parts are off at the chrome platers, and cadmium platers and powder coaters etc!

Apart from colour sanding the KG which continues....
Image

...also got Dennis's panel van roof into paint today - he is going navy blau over light blau for something different

Image

Came out reasonably well off the gun but I'll be cutting and buffing the whole bus anyway to really give it some deep gloss

Colour sanding is a long boring process but rewarding once done :)
