Last week the 51 got a new hat and coat. And yesterday we put it all together.

After looking at the pictures today I'm thinking it may need some new shoes too!

You can't really tell by my photoshop work, but I'm thinking spider caps, trim rings and ww.

We have a few nicks from putting the doors on and the gaps not staying as they had in primer. And we have the dreaded clear coat runs, so we are looking at many hours of color sanding and buffing but that is the fun part right?!
