I stone chipped under the front turrets and in the inner wings

Then i made a start on the paint prep on the inside of the car (warning this does include some extreme weight saving measures please have a tissue to hand at all times lol)

Just a general clean at first

Then i made up some strengthening plates for the front panel (these are the only chassis strengthening plates i am fitting)

At this point i decided i would go back to the interior and remove the final remains of that tar like cr@p

A wire wheel on a drill proved to be the best method

After finishing that off i though i would have a go at some more weight saving measures...it started like this

How much you saved there count?

Good point....not loads but every little helps and there is more to come lol

That's pretty cool, love the triangulation theory lol Also picked up retro cars on friday, love your not-so-furry dice :thumb:

lol i was genuinely asking, i want to do a bit of weight saving on mine in places that can be hidden and are not sacraficing too many comforts, as you say, every little helps lol

Constantly enjoying the updates James, keep them coming, the saloon looks excellent in RC, I must of red it five times already
