Nearly all the body-work is finished here - I didn't like the idea of "eyebrows" pushing the door tops down in the centre of the roof, so decided to "fix that". Six months later, I had reglassed & machined back the underside edges of the door tops, tilted the doors inwards about 5deg, built up the outer parts of the door tops & leading frame edges, & fixed all the scoop alignments. Eyebrows would have been much simpler !

This pic shows the car after all this & painted with grey Spies Hecker "Raderal" - a spray polyester resin filler that looks after pin-holes & provides a nice even base for the final flat-stick sanding.
