After the headache which ended up with the Veloci T altered a while ago, I was going to strip it back with a view to finally building the Pure Heaven car. After a number of guys here very generously donated stuff to the cause, I came to the annoying realisation that, no matter how hard you tried, it was impossible to get the Slixx decals to conform with the compound curves on a Bantam altered bodyshell. So, long story short, the Veloci T remians as it was and I decided to just build a Bantam altered for the fun of it. And these are the results. Most of it was fun, and it's pretty much box stock apart from the detailing, but I had another decal nightmare with the body. For some reason I went through three sets of decals before I got a result I could live with (trust me, the pictures really do flatter it). They either silvered really badly, just broke up or, weirdy, curled up at the edges. Anyhow, it's all done now and I think I'm done with altereds for a while!

Fine looking model. The clean execution belies your struggles. What is the finish on the firewall?

Well, problems or not, I knew the Turd Meister could wrestle it through to a fine finish! If anyone can handle those problems, YOU can! It sure looks good, Harley!

Thanks Dave, it does sometimes take me a while (a long while....) to get there but I usually do get there!

Looks good Harley I like the open chute did come with the kit Thanks Joe. The chute didn't come with the kit - I think it came from an early Corvette kit which had an open chute option but I may be wrong.

Don't say you are through with alterds sir, you do such a beautiful job with them. Especially this little Bantam. Great build sir.
