BUILD THREAD For 1964 Falcon Sprint to Monte Carlo Rallye FIA spec'

[Paul B]

Update:
There has been a huge amount of sanding done to finish the car to final paint stage, it is almost finished, only 1 door left to finish.
The entire body inside and out has also been finished.

This was the Fiberglass hood with a powder guide coat applied before the 500 grit finishing sand,


This is the finished Fiberglass Fender & Door, a small amount of rub through that I will spot prime over and re 500 sand.




Finished Fiberglass inner fender panel that I had to make


And here is the finished body shell ready to go to paint


As mentioned earlier, it will be painted Wimbledon White, the factory colour of 1964
There will be some more paint finishing to do, dash, engine bay and blue side stripe, that will be done later after the paint hardens.
The fiberglass moves a little as it cures and there are some small low spots and 1 or 2 high spots that will make it look very original and true to how it looked in the day.... and I am just happy with the look and finish, its not perfect, but they never were.
Hopefully no one will notice as I hurtle down the front straight at a rapid pace of knots.
