Hello,

It’s an amazing Wip, and it seems like you are building the real car in your garage.
That’s really cool to see this crazy Assy.

Cheers

You are really doing top-ntch work on your F40. I really like what you did with the air ducts as shown in the last photos. Really amazing.

Keep going.

All the Best,

Paul

Thanks guys for your comments. The more I get into this project. The more I see that needs to be corrected.

Hi F40,

I agree with your observations on more and more to add or correct. I've looked at a lot of F40 LM pics myself and there were many modifications Pocher must have needed to maek in order to produce these.

You are doing such a great recreation of the real car and catch so many of the details that need to be added.

Have a lot of bodyfiller ready for all the exterior body work. Maybe your's is in better shape than mine, but when I took the paint of mine a couple of years ago I recall noticing a lot of areas that needed attention.

Are you thinking of using automotive paint for the main body?

Cheers,

Paul

Paul you definitly need alot of putty and a ton of sand paper and good files.I had thoughts of powder coating the car but I think it is to expensive. I am going to use automotive etching primer and then automotive paint for color with urathane clear coats. Then I will rub and polish out the clear.

Hi F40,

Having the body powder coated is a really neat idea. It might not be too expensive but a problem could occur with the body fillers underneath. I agree with your direction and choice of paint. There are some really amazing clear coats and some additives that can be put in them to get a nearly perfect finish right out of the gun.

Keep posting. I'm enjoying seeing and reading about your progress.

Stay Well,

Paul

Small update bodywork on airducts almost finished. A lot of work went into this, which is why it took so long. Thanks for looking!
