Very impressive Rev.
Zeds are more fun than women!!   You know I'm right, but you're too scared to admit it!!

Hey rev

Looks great, so this is the primer over the EP?

How did you find sanding the EP back, was it worth the time and effort?

Cheers

Thanks for the encouragement.  The EP is fantastic and a real winner in getting a smooth substrate.  Couldn't help myself today had to lay down some color, so now everyone knows where this is going.  The color is FORD OCTANE ORANGE and yes it is in your face!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

My Bro from Sydney is going to creme himself when he see's this Rev, thats the color he wants although I have got a very similar color on a Lambo posted in my Gallery which he also likes.

Nice Rev, very period but very contemporary also.

Is it 2K or acrylic?

Im about to head into the bedroom with my girlfriend also and see if I can finish the nose today and tomorrow...........

Cheers

Hey John...yeah I hope once the whole thing is done that I don't feel it's too much, anyway add some chrome on the exterior and a full new interior with lambo style seats and it should look the goods!  I'm using Acrylic, under the bonnet I put some retarder and use Aclac for thinning and it holds quite a good gloss, I can't be bothered trying to sand and cut that back.
Have fun with your Zed today.

Nice one Dave, you really do get into it hey! Love your work, you should be making Z documentaries for Foxtel on Z resto's. I gotta better idea, offer the fella at Z w o r x $5K for whats left with the business and start churning out Z's from the old place and turn it into a full time job.

Looking forward to seeing it all that colour.

Cheers,
Sulio

Yep this is the current color seen on many of the XR8 Fords! XA1973 wants to know what I do for a day job....I'm a minister currently working for a Christian Charity that works with abused and neglected kids in the foster/residential care arena. Sulio, don't tempt me...I'm wondering if it's time for a 'seachange'...I've been thinking about or dreaming about doing more in the Zed department.  Right now I have mine to finish, then a 240 resto for a mate in Qld, then a 260 2 seater from Vic and a 2+2 from Vic....so it makes you wonder!
