After many years she finally has some colour to her.

That sure looks nice, now come do my Phaeton.

BTW, I see the excelsior packs are gone from the doors. Will you be installing some other kind of sound deadener?

Very nice job. Nice attention to detail. Thanks for sharing photos.

You have done your self proud. I know what it takes to paint a car after doing close to several thousand over the years before retirement and there is nothing wrong with what I see. Bravo for a job well done. And when it's all finished the knowledge of what's under the paint make you proud that you did it right.

Very nice. 15 months to retirement and can't wait to get back into painting and bodywork. Please post more pictures as the car comes together.

ford-m,
Looks very nice! Man what a shine! I'm somewhat color blind and I can't tell what color it is. Will it be two toned? What about the stripe and the wheels?
Again, a good job!

What a great job, sure looks like a winner to me.

duke36 · 09-27-2016, 10:56 AM

Beautiful; curious as to what type of paint is used, single stage,urethane, lacquer, etc?

ronn · 09-27-2016, 04:27 PM

One of my favorite colors!

Nice.

How did you incorporate the engine stands to support the shell? I'm in the same stage and need to get mine off the floor.

Hi All
Colour is Light Aribian sand with Dark Aribian sand accent. BASF Super Urathane. She will get a French Grey stripe and wheels are creame.
As for the rotisserie I used two engine hoists and welded up a frame to hold the car. I used some offset tubing to raise it off the tube steel.
Worked like a charm.
Regards,
Michael
