Lawson when you told what you were doing I was a little wondering how the silver and how you are trying to make it look aircraft ,I have to admit I like the way it looks and is turning out.Good job .Your getting ready pics looks my looks now on the side pods body panels.Thanks again for posting pics for me.I did like the red but your new vision is very interesting and out of the box but I like it.Cannot wait to see each other's cousins to a finish and on the road.Like you said on wiring it is not my thing but it needs to redone,my looks like it came with the kit but they did not include a fuse block so that is why I am redoing mine ,I Do Not want to see how fiberglass buggy burn.Better safe than sorry.Larry

Hi Larry

I rattle can sprayed it in metallic chrome paint an loved the finish, but unfortunately, when you touched it the chrome came off on your fingers.

This meant I had to then lacquer the body, which I know now, turns the paint greyish with no depth. I then used wet n dry 800 grit to get the weathered effect then re lacquered. Total cost to do it was £75 (approx US $100)  ;-)up

As you know, red cars do not like sunshine and fade quickly compared to other colours, but it would be nice to still see a red Humbug out there in California ;-)up

Yes I was thinking about changing color but adding black or other color to the section in between the front fenders.I think I will end up with the red unless I see some better that catches my eye but RED sure looked good and crowd catcher.Thanks still trying to figure carb problem I think.Putting off ripping out old wiring but they never put in fuses so have to fix old wiring but will rip it out and put in new harness I have with fuse block,not a electrical person.Thanks again.Larry

Like everyone in 2020, not used Mr Beaujangles half as much as I wanted to, with the Ashbourne trip being the only weekend away. Looking forward to better times in 2021.  ;-)up

Yes Lawson a car like yours needs to be seen.

It's a highlight image in the 2021 buggy calendar.

Hi Lawson.... Nice to see these two cannons were of use..  Far better on your buggy than languishing unused in my shed and thank you again for taking them off my hands.  All the very best for the festive season... ;-)up ;-)up ;-)up
