MORE ABOUT PAINT

John and I are on double time these days.  With the deadline of November 2 getting closer, we are working longer hours and seven days a week.  Today we applied the first of the Old English White to the front fenders.  
The plan dictates that we install the front fenders on monday, complete with lighting.  I realize that is a long order, but I think we can do it.








Yesterday, we fabricated the upholstery quarter panels.  The base of these panels are made of plywood and the originals had begun to delaminate.  Now the new frames have been rough fitted and they are ready for upholstery material.  Photos will follow.

The archive listing of this blog contains detailed step-by-step photos and narratives regarding this restoration since it began late last December.  Please direct any comments and questions to tommystoplesscars@yahoo.com.

Stay tuned...
Tom McCurry
