1966 Valiant Signet Convertible Resto
Small Update.
Got the shell back from the media blaster last week. They did an awesome job stripping the engine bay to bare metal and sealing it with Epoxy primer. I filled in some of the unused factory holes and smoothed out the inner fender aprons. I also massaged and smoothed a spot on the passenger side shock tower area so my headers may clear easier when I drop the body onto the motor/k-frame. Laid down some polyprimer and will go over that with 220, 400, 600 then epoxy seal before basecoat and clear. Hope to have the engine bay and cowl BC/CC done this weekend if all goes well. :cheers:
I also got some of the grill pieces and valence done. Just denibbed very lightly and really did not need to buff them much at all.
I love how this color changes depending on the light and the angles you look at it. Mesmerizing.
Next update will be a sparkling engine bay and cowl. Slow and steady progress. :clock:
