Assembled the chassis over the weekend . Nothing fancy , it's built right out of the box with just some paint . I'm pretty sure that MGB's were painted ALL black but that's pretty boring so I changed it up a little .  If it wasn't for the time spent painting everything I bet assembly time would have been about 30 minutes . I've never built any Japanese kits before but now understand how some guys can finish a kit an just a couple of days . |

Thanks Bob ! Well I spent two days on what normally would have been a one or two hour job but the foil is finally finished , I guess I'm getting the hang of this new stuff but I still don't like it . I masked and sprayed the front and rear window gaskets with Tamiya TS-82 Rubber Black , then applied a thin strip of foil for the reveal molding . Not perfect but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out .   |

This might give you an idea about the tire, wheel well relationship, I like em low. These were my rides in the late 70's. I sold the Tiger to money for a down-payment for a house, after 44 years two kids 3 grandchildren I still misshttps://images15.fotki.net/v1669/fileDyaa/ac485/9/1622579/14407498/1606342884963.jpg that car.
