Well, took the plunge today. 24 months is a long haul. Will read all, have the GT-40 book on the way. Hope to detail as I did on the Easy Rider. This one is for my youngest grandson.

Great to see another GT40 build on the forum.
I'll look forward to seeing what you do with it.

First shipment arrived. All looked good.

As you all know you just put the hood assembly aside. I did spray headlight buckets flat black and plan to do the same to the headlight rims.

Question, is the interior of the hood ( bonnet ) painted flat black. The hood was fiberglass so it would not have been left raw.

Do we have a paint number for the Gulf Blue? Hopefully a brand hobby bottle match?

Carbs went together as advertived. I did use a bit of oil paint wash to dirty things up a little.

Looking forward to #2!

Tom
