[Bonehead]

Way to hang in there. These things take time.

I think this build is a candidate for several Guiness records

Could be! Been working on this car since 1969!

Some more progress

Some more progress on the worlds longest paint job. Door jambs, firewall and trunk painted.
I didn't get pictures of it last week but it's assembled ready to be blocked and shot. White pearl top blue body and clear coat.

In anticipation of having a car soon !??! I started cleaning parts since I'm not working on some other project.
Polished the 74 year old interior handles.

Polished the trunk handle and added vinyl letters.

The "Nose"!

Headlights and Taillights!

Nice nose.

I'm restoring a 1950 New Mexico plate for the car. MVD requires the plate to be readable original or restored to close but doesn't have to be the exact colors.
The plates I have needed to nice to go on the painted car. If I ever get it back!

It was blue background with white letters and numbers.

I soaked the plate on vinegar overnight and have it a wire brushing and sanding to remove all the rust and old paint on the front. Left the old color on the back.

This is rinsed off before a good scrubbing.

 

[dmw56]

Ready for primer and paint.

Ready for some white letters and numbers.

Ok the paint job! It still hasn't been shot yet. He did get it assembled and aligned. Now he's blocking it again.
