More Undercoating and blocking back and finally some colour

                 This is where all the hard work making sure things are straight etc starts to show up.
Although I don't want to make it too perfect, the original cars were mass produced and had their share of minor imperfections.

I fixed the guards to the mobile bench with hex screws, this makes it easier to block down and work on them without fear of them dropping off.
This works really well, easy to work on and easy to move around.

Have to take advantage of the sun to help dry out paints even though they are 2 pack paints with hardener it just extra assurance that there is no more sink back of paints and fillers.

Dash gets its coat of 2 pack off white paint to match original white paint.
This was a different white to the white upholstery and it seems to go together rather than match everything to the upholstery which I think would be too much of one colour for the interior.
Looks more off white indoors yet out side it is very white.


                              A test run on the Twilight Turquoise paint colour to see that we are all go.
 Looks great out in the sunshine looks more blue outside in full light and green in doors. See above & below
                            Clear-coat makes the difference, adds depth to the colour and more sparkle.
 Steering column and kick panels get the same dash white paint, great paint really hard and scratch resistant.
