After sanding for ever , primed 55 again. Lost some detail, but could not avoid it. Going to lay on blue today over white. Could not decide between traditional white/blue or leaving it grey primer. Just primer gives 55's a "Bad" look. I like it so another is in line after this.
Rob, get that bad boy inside before the next sand storm hits....... lol.

Blue is on tape is peeled....... happy again. Drilled holes in block for wiring & pulleys. Need to paint before assembly. Going to remove grill and fab small gas tank to take place. Has to come before painting since grill frame & motor are same piece.
The way the body & motor pieces go together lead to more ideas for detailing the engine. I'm past the engine compartment...... thinking about doing bottem of motor. And what kind of chassis would work to do a dropped axle that looks right. Primer version.

Question on legality of.body........ I know Anglia's, Austin's & Henry J's are allowed as gassers (guessing rats too). I have also seen where bodies in question need to have a picture to verify existence.
I've never seen a picture, don't know if they ever existed.
WOULD AN ANGLIA PICK-UP BE LEGAL ? For either a gasser or rat ? Didn't like paint job on panel van so cut off back and made wood bed pickup. Will post picks when I get back after painting.
tia......... Peter

Thanks for Anglia info........... was hoping for thumbs up. Another question on bodies........... North American bodies are a prerequisite except for a few English cars used for gassers. Does this supersede a picture of actual car ? Or does a picture trump all ? Remember seeing if you can supply picture it's good to go. Found picture other day of a Volvo funny car. The Saint was on its side (remember tv show w/ Roger Moore). All sorts of cars used in the early days. Seeing cars I've forgotten & some never seen has me wondering if there is a preference between NA & random pics of body styles. Thanks again.......... Peter
