Buggy sneek peek
« on: March 04, 2012, 07:18:55 PM »
bought a manx clone off a ASF member couple months ago to burn around in this summer....

as bought...




built a spray booth to do this and the oval..










mock ups and fixing this busted ass body! fiberglass repair sucks donkey balls, glad thats behind me :band1:




































was going for the simple no frills quick and dirty old school look but am getting carried away of course!!!

First coat of primer flew today after much prep!!!!! using evercoat slick sand (sprayable polyfill)











Have a couple pinholes to fill and a bunch more block sanding but i'm super stoaked to be this far this quickly......I wanna be driving by May :party1:

Wow! Great job so far! That is looking really sharp! That sprayable polyfill is amazing stuff.

Calling? No god damb way!!!!!
No offence to any of the painters out there but I could never do this full time :32 I would be a chronic dope smokin angry mofo!

This project has served its purpose as the practice run for my ragtop....not a big deal now! I was dreading body and paint on the oval but this was a huge confidence builder!!
