A few of what I call the "reveal" after masking removed. Not color sanding this one, it's not necessary and I don't have time before it goes home next weekend. It will be de-nibbed and buffed.
I was thinking the same thing when I saw the pictures. This one doesn't even need the color sand. Beautiful job Phil. I'm sure Don is going to be smiling for months!
Exciting times! Would love to see a front shot with the cleaned up engine compartment.
So, just because I'm OCD (if that wasn't already obvious), are you going to repaint the red inside the trunk too? Is there anything in there exposed to the elements?
You mean a shot like this?
The other black parts- belly bar, suspension, etc have been powdercoated black (by either Steve or me), I get to paint the steering arms myself after I get it back, Phil painted the steering box in "as-cast" with a black plate on top...which is beautiful, and the bottom of the car is black (done by me.) Still some details to work out on a couple parts in the picture...but I think it's going to look pretty sweet. The shock towers are powdercoated black..
The inside of the trunk is also going to be painted by Phil - I will put the gas tank in before it goes home and nothing will then be exposed there, and Phil is going to redo the sound coating in the trunk so it looks somewhat original.
ok...no more pictures for a while, if you want to see it you've got to get over to help me get the engine back in.

Actually I was thinking post all things painted red shot. All the post body-shot red images are from the rear. But that's fine; I can wait to see it in person. "Real soon now" as they say.
