Finished up about what I could with the Opel;
Bunch of detail here you'll never see. No provision for opening hood (bonnet to y'all,) deep, narrow cab hiding the pedals.
Built a box. She's mostly straight. Just a little warpage. Should be fine.
Braced the box. All these brackets lift the box maybe 1/4" clear of the frame. The lift also gives space for the fenders.
Barring some small details I didn't photograph, this is as far as she gets until I get more primer. Annoyingly, there's no way to fit the tires after assembling the rear dualies. I'll have to paint everything before I can get her on her feet.
The scooters all have their own narrative. This little Honda needs more primer, to see if I filled the holes properly;
I can't quite manage the yellow on these two. If I can't straighten out the color on another coat or two, I'll likely bin the...not-Vespa. I want the Vespa, though.
I like the ivory here, though it laid thick in some spots. Helpfully, those spots are spots I think I'd need to overpaint black, anyways.
Finally, I like how this red is coming along, though I'll need another coat or two.
All work shown here stops until Illinois allows 'nonessential' businesses to reopen. I need primer & blades from a hobby shop, and little eyedroppers I use for decanting jarred paints form American Science & Surplus. I'd rather wait for the locals to open. They'll need all the help they can get. I'll likely crack open another simple car project. I really don't want to brush paint right now. We'll see.
