Back with another brief update.

The back of the car has been wetsanded and buffed and now patiently awaits final polishing.



I took 9 photos today, but these are the only two that came out--the rest were too dark to see any detail (lousy lighting today for whatever reason) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]



It already looks phenomenal, so I can't imagine what it's going to look like once it's been final polished.

Bodyguy plans to have the doors done by the end of the week, then he'll finish wrapping up the remaining paint details and the final sanding/buffing/polishing.

Since Bodyguy #2 is indefinitely out of the picture at this point, I brought some of the stainless back home with me to assist #1 with some more parts clean-up. Unfortunately, a couple of items that I'd hoped to re-use have been deemed no longer serviceable, so I'll be placing another order with Hinshaws this coming week.

It's only money, right? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

I can't wait to see this damned thing done and out in the sun.

More later.

Everyone get your carburetors into Eric now for restoration as he won't be worth a sh!t once his car comes home! Poor Rachael. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

HA!...if this thing gets any nicer than it is now, I'm gonn'a be too scared to drive the damned thing! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]

Here shortly I'll be on the hunt for a car storage bag. Keeping the car in my garage will be akin to keeping <span style="font-style: italic">The Heart of the Ocean</span> in an old sweaty gym sock. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Thanks again guys [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Donnie;

Bodyguy's trying to get mine jammed out and done so he can get back on yours full-steam. He said things should start going back together &quot;very quickly&quot; now, so yours is on deck.
