learn summit new everyday, i just dont like rubbing things down to bare metal cos get scared rust will start from that!!!

surely u have to smooth the metal into the old paint so there will be a lip there????? cos the paint will be higher then the metal???

if you feather the line from the paint to the metal then it should be fine...and feather filler to the metal itll even itself out if you know what i mean !
but if your fillers over the paint...you will never get the line away as much as itll be sanding the paint as u sand the filler. always leavin a lip !

kinda hard to explain.

and it wont rust once its been painter over

wot do u mean u dont c it taking shape to well???

the lines round the arches now are much betta u got to remember these arches have been made from parts of are old milking parlor so not excatly just weld on or fibreglass ........i wish it were that simple, got to get the shape of the arch from nothing! its been fun to do.........very time consuming tho

Yeah I accept its difficult & takes alot of time - its not something I could do

Without any disrespect (Ive thought every other car you done has been spot on) im just not a fan of whats been done so far.....................maybe change my mind once its finished though

thats cool its nice to have people who are not sure about my ideas...........gives me a challange to change your mind when its done! dont expect everyone to like the car cos at the end of the day it should not look like any other car so it comes into catagory as jagcorsa, its a one off and some people like it somepeople dont!!!! its just summit a little different!

i think matt black with orange leather will look mint!! you could even mix the orange leather with some black suede to keep the subtle black/orange combo!!
mint work tho mate, wish i could do stuff like this??
how did you learn it all??
