And a few of Elvis taking delivery of his used 507!
 these first three are him at the dealer.These next three are him on the base This bottom one shows it after he painted it “Fire Engine Red” which was actually a Porsche color at the time. Cheers Dave

Look at the third picture. Did you see the ripples and waves in the rocker panel and the door? Dave I bet the fit and finish on yours is much better than the originals.

Man, I know I'm not the best blocker-outter but you don't have to pick out every flaw on my car, Freddie!
 OH, You mean Elvis's car.  I attribute some of that to old photo distortion, honestly. But they did have their inconsistencies for sure. And remember, his car was a used demonstrator with some race car pedigree to boot. Undercoating is sprayed in the wells and on the trunk pan. A lot more care for overspray taken this time. So many over restored cars don't have this, but I wanted it on mine. I think it looks better too. Wetsanded to 3000 grit. Polish up next! Cheers Dave

 . For interest sake, how many coats of base and clear coat did you decide to go with?

Thanks, Guys. And agreed Bill. Can’t wait to get the polishing done and get those parts back on!
Joe, it’s two coats of base which covered nicely, then four coats of clear. DCU2021, Slow reducer based on the upper 80s temps in the booth/shop. It flowed nicely! Good grief none of this stuff is cheap! I want to say I’m past the $7k mark just in supplies, easily. I lost count, honestly. Cheers Dave
