Hi Rob, nice to see your last project. It's great!!!
I'm ok, thanks. I have some problems with my Manx. but just easy problem because it's all new!!
Here are some pics of my bike tank. Capitan Blaster is the painter. he flaked my manx too. He is great with pinstriping, leteering and every kind of old school paint. on my tank he put a silver layer at the base than paint the lacework in dark, and than paint everythink in candy blue with the laquer on the top.
I know what you mean, for example lettering and pinstriping ar better without the laquer on top. but using laquer on candy colors you increase the deep effect.

Cool project, a great choice. I always wondered after seeing the picture in the first cal look book why a replica hadn't been built. I have already built it several times in my own mind  Good luck, looking forward to seeing it in the flesh |

Yeah the date of the mag would be great , I know it 1971 , cause the car didn't exist any other year . Unless you would like to sell your copy ?
Thanks , Rob

if anybody read my reply you would know that it would have to be in a mag after July 1971, as that was when the picture was taken.

Fibreglass deck lid I made has finally been painted , so I've had the sign writing brushes out again , not quite finished but looking pretty good .
If anyone wants any authentic ( ie. not very good ) , signwriting doing , let me know . I'm much cheaper than Melliard ,
