72 Scamp and 440 Work in Progress

-
Well waiting on the weekend to primer. Cant really do it during the week as I need more time. But in the mean time I got the brakes on! Never done these before but they have good tension and everything seems to be where it needs to be.

Your Scamp is really looking good and I love the way it sits. BTW I also like Cragars and blue and that combo is sweet on your car. I can't wait to see it in one piece and running.
Nice work!
 
I actually have been working on this but I fail to update this. Body is almost ready for topcoat. I went back and reprimerd this morning. I shot 2 wet coats of primer. Now to wet sand for top coat. Its already been blocked out and problem areas fixed. Also some sub assemblies are the dash is ready and has been painted. Steering column has been converted as well. Seats are done as well. I basically have the interior ready to go in once paint is finished.

Just ran onto this thread- really nice work for a first-timer! Can't wait for more car ****. Good luck with the rest of the build; this IS going to be sweet when it's done!
 
Thanks for the kinds words fellas. It should have been in color some time ago but I just wasnt 100% happy with the primer so i redid it. I got some money coming in here soon and the block is going for work. I know I know ive said that more then a few times. But I just couldnt do it until i could pay for it.
