Lots of shiny bits!
Finally finished filling/rubbing down/undercoating/stopping and painting. It's been a hard 6 weeks of work but the shiny panels are now in the garage to harden off for the next few weeks.
I'm back to work from early September so they should get some time to harden before I'm ready to start re-assembling the car. I was pushed for time because the big shed that I use for painting is unheated and it's not really possible to spray cellulose below about 18 degrees because of bloom formation. However, all is done now, except the dashboard, which needs metalwork before it's painted.
So, it's time for a tidy up, sweep out of the spray shop and packing away all the body tools and supplies.
Next jobs: chase up on the nickel plating that went in in June, take the glass patterns in for new glass to be cut and make a start on fitting up wings and body parts.
