2ND ATTEMPT

I had much better luck this time. I got the gun adjusted much better but still got a bit of orange peal and some dust on the upper panels. I believe I can wet sand and buff that. If not I'll sand and re-shoot them. The lower part looks great.

RED PAINT

I shot the red paint today and it's pretty bad. Lots of orange peal and some drips. I put on 4 coats so I hope there is enough paint to sand down. My first paint job turned out great right out of the gun; beginners dumb luck. Hopefully I can post some pix showing a nice job later; better than these. I'm learning.

PRIMER

Shot the primer today. I wish I knew what I was doing. This is the second paint job I've done. It's a bit on the dusty side if that means anything; probably moved the gun too fast. Now I have a lot of sanding to do.

FINALLY IT'S PAINT TIME

Winter is just about over and I've been able to work on paint prep. I think I'm finished and ready for primer this week. YEA! Like my fancy paint booth? If all goes well I'll shoot the color next week then I'll trailer it to the local British car show April 29.

Interior is next then inspection time!!!! Getting close.

OH MY GOD handle

Too cold to do too much but yesterday and today I made my wife a grab-n-screem handle.

GLOVE BOX/TOOL BOX

After looking at the rear plywood panel I had the thought about storage. Perfect place for a glove box since the dash is covered and forward of it is taken up with electrical stuff. This has worked out well except that the seat has to be forward to access it.

PERFECT CAR FOR MY WIFE

This has got to be the perfect car for my wife; back seat driver!!
