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.
