Its a Miracle!!!!
Hell no, Dicko, I certainly didnt. I wonder if this is the first 100-page thread on Ausmini??

Anyway, Dicko, SGC, Smarty, Matt and Bill - thanks for the kind words and the support!!!

Yes, I am very proud of this achievement, it will be our showcase and definately a keeper!! :wink:

Thanks again one and all!!

Cheers,
Tricky

Some might not think that this qualifies as a thread but it has more than a 100 pages :D

Steve,

Maybe I should have said 'build thread' instead of just thread!!!

Looking bloody amazing Tricky, a credit to you and no doubt it'll be an excellent ad for QBR.

100 pages eh? Now there's something to aim for...

Yep Morrie, is all coming together - finally!! Mind you, its been a long road to hoe!!

And thanks for your kind words and support everyone!!

Some more pics from the last couple of weekends work on The Cat. As you may recall, there were still some bits and pieces left to paint, namely the wheels, bonnet etc. Here are my custom made Oz Racing wheels being painted:

And some other bits left to do, mirrors, slam panel, door handles etc (take a look at how complicated the stripes on the hood scoop were):
Image

Bonnet:
Image

Sponsors decal on and clear coated:

On the car:
Image

And here is Ashie fitting (well temporarily) the wheels up to the car to see how they will look. The rears:
Image

The fronts:

Hope you like it....

Cheers,
Tricky

I absolutely love the theme your going with there Tricky.
There's a lot of nice cars getting around out there but this one is something else.
I hope to see it in the tin one day. 8)
