love that color!
John,
Thanks for posting your videos for the Type-65 Coupe.
Between you and Paul Borror (Edwardb), I'm feeling a lot better about the body fitment issues.
Though I'm not ready to take the plunge yet, I'm starting to feel a bit better about taking on a future project.

It is our pleasure to post these videos Steve.
The main purpose for these YouTube Videos is to show the owner of the car the progress on their project (most clients live far away from our shop).
The Bonus is other folks can view these videos to get ideas to help with their own projects.
These kits are very well made, you just need to have patience and attention to detail for a very nice result!
Thanks for viewing!
John & Julie Nizman
With the White stripes painted along with black painted on number, the body received 3 coats of Clear Coat Finish.
Both doors were also masked and painted and also received clear coat finish.
The doors were installed and adjusted to the body.
The work on the front nose continues......
The steps for the doors. After trimmed and fit to the body, they were sanded and smoothed and block sanded up to 400 grit sandpaper.
Grey sealer was applied as a base coat before the Custom Blue Pearl Metallic Base Paint was applied.
The masking was done for the "Bubble Gum Circle" then the black number was sprayed.
With all masking removed, both complete doors received 3 coats of high gloss Clear Coat Finish and installed and adjusted to the car body....
