Lets Paint

Safety first!

Protecting the tools and toys.

Exhausting the fumes through the doggie door.

I had to use an old siphon paint gun to spray up in the wheel wells.  A gravity gun, one with the paint canister on top, couldn't reach. 

These photos were over exposed in order to show the detail in the wheel wells.  The car is still green.


Only the wheel wells were painted in 1963.  The rest of the fiberglass under body was left unpainted. 


The engine compartment turned out exceptionally nice.



Everything looks great!


Merry Christmas!

Wheel Wells and Engine Compartment are Ready for Paint




When this picture was taken the fiberglass repair had only been made from the underside.

The fiberglass repair is now 100% complete with exception to feathering and general clean-up.

Fiberglass is used as much as possible to make repairs.

The fiberglass we use is clear which makes it difficult to photograph our progress. 

Very little Bondo has been used on the car.
