Looks good enough to me, does it match the rest of the car?

I should hope so! However the bumper and bonet could do with some work next as could the door so there will lbe opertunity to blend all around.
I do really like this fast curing clear coat, 25 mins and its touch dry, 3 hours to polishable, in the right hands it would be very good stuff!

I had the front and rear wings of the DS Sarafi pyrolytically cleaned and a gentle blast afterwards.
The wings were in surprisingly good condition, just a couple of small rust holes.
No deformation from the heat either.
One rear wing needed a small welding repair.
So far I've used 80 grit on the rear wing's inner surface then two coats of Jotamastic 90.
Three front and two rear wings off to the oven.
Damage to front wing.

I made these battery hold down "bolts" for wifey's Pop today. I could have used a bit of studding but where's the fun in that if you've got a lathe?
Bit of stainless tube I had in the offcuts bin, tap each end M8, bore a couple of nuts interference fit on the tube (plus some small tacks) and long set screws tightened in with high strength locking compound. Cut the heads off and face off.
Quick top strap out of more stainless.

oh that would have been a nice touch. I should have thought of that, it would have been an easy thing to add into the files before laser cutting.

Nice work. A friend of mine ( although I haven't seen him for years) was top dog in the knot tie-ers association. Can't remember the proper name.
A highly respected man when it came to knots.
