After a total strip down and blasting and welding Flo is ready to go :shock: ..............to the prep and paint shop that is :roll:
Looks like she is about to go on a desert mission in current colouring :lol:

Looks like 101 Dalmations gone wrong! Seriously though, it's looking great.

Could bring it on the spit :lol: - the blasting was supposed to be glass bead - not sure that was the case - yellow powder (sand?) - not the best of jobs for the money - still managed to warp the roof and bonnet. :roll:

My first lot of inner front panels were done with glass bead but it had been used previously so i guess it was a bit kinder to the steel and was ok, shame the wings werent the same, i find it hard to believe that any blaster worth his salt wouldn't realize that the outcome of intense blasting can cause panels to warp.
I guess its not too bad Fred as you would be grumbling a bit louder :D hope the rest goes ok.
