    Got the colour rubbed back today, if the weather holds we'll be spraying the clear tomorrow.

    2/3 of the way through the clear now. A few kamikaze bugs have decided to immortalise themselves in the clear, but no biggies so far.

    Exhausted now, I was spraying that clear for hours today.

    Did the bumpers too.

    Put a few bits back on already.

    Entered it in DOVW! Next weekend's gonna be busy! 3 cars to prep.














    Oh, did I mention that the headlights are a common part that you can still buy new?

    It's an unusual setup, the outers are low beam and parkers only and the inners are the high beam.



    Front grill has a silver paint strip that needed re-doing.



    I'm not going to bother making anything work for DOVW, just enough so I can drive it off the trailer.

    That beetle's been in the background for way too long

    The pan is done and we have most of the bits now, it's a '59, semaphores, big back window, "snow flake" tail lights and 36 glorious horsepower.
