Hi,

just some 45min later its look like this....


Image

I think its not easy to do,but with time on my side it can be done.

Wim,an open car would be easier,but the windows are not the problem i think.
I cut them out after the body is done with fiberglass.

Hello,

today was "putty-day"!
I puttied all the bodywork and made a y0 flaw over the body.
The same to the little one on the desk.
Now i can take the caliper gauge,take some measure from the little one,and make them double on the big one.
( I hope you can understand what i mean?)
There is the front lamp in the making.

Image

Next step is take curb after curb and bring them to the big one.

Image

Here is a little overview of the putty-thing called capri(one day).
The weight is about 4kg at the moment!

Kind Regards
