The undercarriage, engine compartment and interior was seam sealed.





The extra firewall holes were filled in



Epoxy primed







Brian is taping the body so we can spray a couple coats of Slick Sand primer

We had a problem with the original fiberglass hood and front valance so we ordered replacements from NPD. The hood required a little work but the front valance fit great and it was a Dynacorn part.

The hood had a low spot in the back and the front corners needed a little fiberglass added to match our front fenders





Our new employee Marco is almost finished with the hood





Brian was shocked that an aftermarket part fit and doesn't need to be modified and top it off it is fiberglass!!!

Installing the suspension and brakes and will fit the sheetmetal so when the tires come in we can make sure they fit before painting.

The body was epoxy primed for the last time and wet sanded with 600 before paint.



Three coats of Wimbledon white followed with a coat of intercoat clear



It's not a quick job laying out the stripes and taping the body









Three coats of Guardsman blue yesterday





Brian removed the tape today and tomorrow I will spray SPI Universal clear.
