250SWB 3.2M almost finalised

I am not a pro like mobilerobbie and I sanded my original red temporary paint down ready for the paint shop in about 4 weekend probably spending4-6 hours each day.

A mixture of had sanding with various grits of paper and an electric DA sander. The trouble with the electric sanded is there are a LOT of curves and you need to be careful to avoid flat spotting them.

It went from this


To this

Well I'd be more than happy with that! Nice job. I think the swb has some pretty heavy mold lines on the rear haunches tho.

I was thinking along the same lines after seeing Andy Sharrocks Road Runner badge.

This one is a prancing Road Runner designed by yours truly, bit of a pisstake on the horse thing and a homeage to the Z3 also.



and the Chrome version ....

Nice one Very Andy, I like the Roadrunner logo.

There are a lot of different versions going around.

Rear script looks great but prancing donkey - don't do it!! Long standing joke in F replicas and after a minutes mild amusement it detracts from the quality of the car you've produced.


Why not go with Pininfarina badge? Not a lie to say it's their styling! I was thinking of going with the Farina F badge on the bonnet - lots of PF styled cars use it
