I like the look of that, looks a tad fishlike, hence the name I suppose :)

Wasn't the Kingfisher based or inspired by the MiniMarcos? The front is Macosy(?) Lovely project, I'm green with envy, like JG I like the older projects. Hows it comming on?

hey guys, thanks for the replys... i have the shell almost ready for paint after doing some modifications to the shell ive made the rear hatch redundant and im changing the bonnet up.

trying to find out what to paint it with? its been taken right back to gelcoat, repairs done and then ive added a flat laer of satin black to check repairs.. can i paint enamel on this without it reacting?

cheer will get some more pics up asap.
