Look good, can't wait to see it painted.
Blocking is not the funniest part on a project, you've done all of it by hand?

All done by hand. 240g, 320g, 500g followed by an 800g wet rub.
love the feel of it after. Minimal cut through but my arms and body was sore.

Hi.
Thats 3 coats. The doors, guards, bonnet and boot will go on then it will get painted all over. It’s going to sit for a week or two after that to dry out. Then it will be flattened of with 1200”1500 grit and flow coated.
The colour is Lucid Red Pearl. Paint is Glassurite 90 line

Can anyone suggest where to get the roof mould channel for a coupe from. Plenty of fastback ones out there but no coupes. Or if anyone has a good pair or NOS set they are willing to sell.
To clarify it the stainless steel mould that holds the roof rubber from front to back in place for a coupe
Thanks heaps

Rapter coated the underside, wheel arches, inner guards and cross member.
Thinned it down with 10-15% reducer to give it a better look than bed liner
