More progress on paint, getting close now

Been a long time since an update.  Pat lost one of his key employees while expanding his shop, so he hasn’t been progressing as quickly as he’d like.  Plus this phase had a lot of grueling work – fixing all the tiny imperfections in every body panel.

A couple weeks ago the ancillary panels got painted (these are all cell phone pics, sorry for the quality)

Fenders looking good-

Lots of wet sanding and buffing on all these parts.  This week they started on hanging some panels.  The fenders hadn’t been on the car since I took it apart, almost a year ago.  They’re starting to get re-acquainted…

The hood was one of the more time consuming parts.  It’s a huge piece, and Pat wanted to be sure it was perfect.  The underside got painted first, in the same gray used elsewhere.  Any leaks or splatter will be immediately obvious in this car!!

Could be as little as another week or two until it’s done and back in the garage.
