Nar buggar selling it. Find another painter or even do it yourself, you've worked to hard not to enjoy El-gato.

Don't you dare!! This is one project that has to be finished, and you deserve to has some fun with it once its done. There has to be a painter somewhere that can do what you want when you want it.....

Hang in there, we are

Cheers,

Dito to dicko

It would be a real shame to sell EL GATO

It was your inspiration with the cat that lead me to start my build, though
i must admit i have felt the same at times ,but i hope you soldier on,finish
the build and have a wild ride in the cat

Cheers Hallsey

I'm hearing you Tricky!! If I hadn't poured so many $$$$ into mine I would pull right out of it...

OOOOOO YEAH


Trust me it works, when James very kindly let me drive his van it
took a month just to get the smile off my face.

And gave me a HUGE boost in enthusiasm

Eternally grateful James

Cheers Hallsey

Ok Ok - you guys have convinced me.

I think though, as Hallsey pointed out, may be easier in the longrun to get me a downdraught spray booth and do it myself - at least it will get done!

Looks like the Project is back on - thanks guys for all your support and kind words!
You guys are the best!!!

Cheers,
Tricky

Yep the long runs will be much easier if you do it yourself.



Looking forward to another chapter in the continuing story. You have done a lot of very good work and it would be a pity to stop the job before it is complete. (says the bloke with the unfinished Cooper S)

It seems that the paint stage of a few peoples builds here on the forum have been the bane of their life.

You had me worried for a bit there Tricky.

I'm glad you're sticking with it.

Will catch up soon.
