Morning guys. ![Smiling3 :smiling3: :smiling3:](/smiles/Smiling3.png)
I decided I fancied a relatively simple build so pulled this from the stash. Will be built mostly OOB.
Made a start over the weekend by getting the body prepped and primed, and all the parts for the underside cleaned up. I'm not going to go mad on these as I doubt anyone will ever look at the underside, and I want to concentrate on the bodywork, which will be the star of the show. More on that later.
I decided I wanted to give some heat staining to the exhaust tip, so instead of painting the kit part I turned a replacement out of stainless. I applied some heat while it was still in the lathe (before parting off). I think it came out quite well.
