Accelerating the progress

By now it seems the worst is over and I could could speed up the work. Getting the motor running is the most important job; yet we need to put the chassis and engine together for that.

Finally things appear to be falling in place. The engine and all parts to be painted black are primered and ready.

Feeling good after overcoming the engine fiasco.

After complete strip down, the naked chassis. Not much to look at.

After stripping the paint to the metal and primer, the original basic red paint is sprayed on; What a difference, almost gives life the chassis. Replaced new handle cups for the steering column.

To continue in a project like this you need to have a vision, a goal as to what your final outcome should be. The following picture inspired me and is the benchmark. (except for the red and blue decals; they will be similar to the RR model as shown below)

Easy said, but getting there is a tough road.
