great job on it! Looks amazing

great great job on it

looking good..... this WIP makes me so wanted to re commence mine abandoned a long long time ago.

Just found this from a link - fantastic WIP - its in the stash, so incredibly useful!

Thank you all. I will be picking this project up again over the holidays with the goal of completion after a long hiatus.....life gets in the way of our hobbies. I also started a MFH RS 01 to go along with the RE 20. That is almost ready for paint. Stay tuned.

Great WIP, looking forward to the next update!

Saying "awesome" is probabl staying short
One thing, I'd go fro slightl darker upper rocker arms, at the rear.
Impressive job!!

Your attention to detail is making me drool! LOL All the engine and engine bay prepping, painting and plumbing is especially amazing!

Cheers, Chris

Thank you for the encouraging comments and tips! I will go darker on the rear suspension when I figure out how the exhaust sits on top and I can weather it up and stain it. All the fiddy bits are next. I got stopped because the big under tray needs lots more prep, masking, fitting and aluminum finish. The upper cowl was getting snagged on the engine heads too and not a really tight fit to the front suspension pontoons either. I had to grind out some plastic to get it to sit better and a little warp at the rear after 30 yrs in a box. It will need to be screwed down or left off for display.

That sounds like a new years present!
Looking forward to it, keep up your great work!
