OK a couple of updates.
Last weekend it was finally time to replace the body on the chassis.

Final Paint Time - Yeh!
Pics here https://photos.app.goo.gl/XhVKRHzgUoJUKmAQ6 Pics 1 and 2 are the Jukebox amp of Shaun's that took a little longer than expected. Old school! 3,4 and 5 are because I wasn't satified with the Baslac base coat on the black. I still got some movement after months. I think my reducer may have been too old. So I stripped it back and re did it. 6, 7 and 8 are the colour corrected bits now in full 2K clear. Shinny! 9 is prep wash for the body 10 says I need a better exhaust fan. 11 and 12 are the body in 2k. Time to move on the electrics at last. Peter |

Hi Peter,
posted on FB, prefaced with my comments Hey all, it's been a while. Peter explains below, but all I heard was waaa waaa waaa. It hasn't helped project progress the fact that someone has also commissioned him to do a 1956 Seeburg jukebox project (repair) at the same time. That's what happens when you have too many skills. (looking great, can't wait to see it with the clear coats, it is going to POP!) |

Time for an Update guys and possibly gals.
Colour Correction Time. Unfortunately for IT people the lock down means even more work than usual so I've been a bit too busy to mess with the car for a while. Of the 8 red bits I'd already painted I chose the best of them to set the base colour for the car. 3 pieces needed colour adjustment after the body was painted as a result. Pics Here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Vm5qDwUWUfG3dV7v8 Pic 1 is prep and I decided to get rid of all the ear holes to start clean on fastening them when finished. 2 and 3 are the Baslac Silver going down. About 3 coats. 4 Is as small bit of masking to lay the interior black coat. Note: No point in painting where the carpet will cover it. 5 is what happens when a dumb arse doesn't close the gun cover well enough and puts a black drip on the car. This colour is a pig for spot repairs. I had to blend the entire rear panel to get it even. 6 and 7 are the body in final base colour. As my camera doesn't seem the get this colour right, 8 is an attempt to correct the image at lest on my phone screen. Probably different on your monitor. 9, 10 and 11 are all the other bits now colour corrected to the base body colour. Not a fun job. This might be the last time I do a blended candy. So if the weather holds for another couple of weekends I'll get the top coat 2K clear down on all of these. Peter |
