Managed to get garage cleaned up doing some little stuff letting paint cure. Plan to paint bottom of hood and paint too hood and doors on Friday.
 
Followed your thread and work since the start - great work! Did you paint the shell outside or in the garage ?
The floor and walls in the garage show no overspray !

In the garage and I point my gun at the car and don't over pressure it wink wink water floor little plastic np
 
Hood done today exceeded my expectations! I did the underside here in black rust encapsulation and sound/heat deadening material. I will also put the heat shields back on hood and rubber strips make a hole for the air cleaner.

New can paint to light I'm pissed off sigh. Will have to pause and get it remixed. I'm thinking about doing something for my grandboy's. They call my car Papa's hotwheel. Let me know what you think they are chrome and the stick on like the Dodge ones.

I bought the stick on Hot Wheels Emblems, and the are really nice.
 
One door down one to go, had some issues paint was a little light. I got it sorted out but little irked with paint mixer as its a computer it was wrong I think maybe a victim of being little sloppy measuring.

Got the car outside today washed off all the crap from the garages. Very clear I need to build a new shop area with AC and climate control. With no garden tools or crap all over and a treated floor and such. More progress made today doors are coming together all I have left is a passenger glass and little stuff. I will be color sanding later and reshoot the car due to I should gotten two gallons .mixed same time my own bone headed mistake. For now not a concern. I have a hood now sitting in garage once engine is in tuned and no leaks well put that on.

Got some of the parts interior redone. OER P338 bright blue will not miss the ugly lagoon blue sorry but it is a horrible color I can't do it.

Got the new glass in passenger side easy and quick. Plan to redo door cards later for now just throwing back together well do little things as I go. Only a hood, grill and bumpers waiting on engine builder I got a break doing some yard stuff for fall worked out well.
 
Got my sample vinyl for the door card. I plan to take off that cheap factory stuff front and back. Will still have the blue top door handle and armrest.
