Tornado GT40

Thanks Paul,hoping to get body in a few weeks.Havent done much over the past few months,only got single garage and weather too cold.Hoping to fit and prep body for paint in spring while saving for engine parts and gearbox.when are you getting your car sprayed or are you having too much fun to strip it down.had dax cobra that i ran in gelcoat for 2yrs enjoyed it too much to prep it for paint,all the best,Kevin.
 
Mine goes in the paintshop Monday - they said it should be around 10 days with 2 guys on it. I'll post some pics once I get it back - in the mean time I have Ians DAX to build - 15 weeks to finish and counting !

Sanded rear of GT40, more filling of seams required, had to build up rear of deck so it matched roof line because i wanted smaller shut-lines on rear deck meeting side sills.

Trimming eyebrows and trial fitting to roof, quite tricky to fit them close to roof due to doors rubbing when opening on rear of eyebrows.
