Bodywork Part 5

The warm weather that we have been blessed with in November has really helped me finish up some of the bodywork which should definitely save me some time in the Spring.  Eric Langbein still has the chassis so it was also good that I was able to keep myself busy with the bodywork.  I actually got primer on four pieces so here are some pics of the pieces just before primer and after primer.

The Cowling:











The Shock Cover:








And The Nose:


I'm happy with how those pieces came out but the bodywork is not over yet.  I still need to finish the side panels, the side pods (which I haven't started on), and the piece that will require the most work is the tail section but I can't start that until the engine and a number of other pieces are installed in the chassis.

This part isn't really related to the RF97 conversion but I said goodbye to my Protoform P3 FV this past weekend.  It went to a good home in Canada.  It was a very special car for me, partly because it taught me so much about racing including doing bodywork such as what I'm showing in this blog.  I wish the new owners all the best and hope that they have as much fun with it as I did.
