All metal bodywork on the AllAlloyCup now complete and given two coats
of Nyalic acrylic lacquer. Now Ready for final assembly!!
Total cost of “alloy panel prep” and “paint” about
£100, inc cost of Scotchbrite pads, meths and spray cans of Nyalic lacquer.
Previous professional paint jobs on other cars of mine were into the thousands!
So as well as being super light, the alloy body route has been very, very economical
Plus no real rust worries either.
Bonnet and doors previously try fitted with working catches etc
often a fiddly job, so best done when panels were not fully finished.
Next jobs, include :
Assemble clutch release unit,
Make spacers for the core of the rear sh/abs
Attempt exhaust down pipe fabrication
Finalise bulkhead wiring
Install floors, plus battery and toolboxes
Re-install engine & gearbox
Install instruments
Install seats
Slosh seal fuel tank
Nickel plate a few items still to do.
Well that’s April accounted for!!
May should see engine start up and then
final build refitting all the panels, & radiator etc
On the road in June???
