Car Back to Shop

On Monday April 25th we moved the car back to the Boonville shop since paint was done - well, almost done.  There were some defects in the paint on the hood, so Dave Folk is retaining the hood to wet sand and paint a second time.  He will deliver it to the shop in a week or so.

Here's a picture, the doors and trunk lid line up quite well.

Paint is Done!

Al and Dave F were able to complete the paint yesterday, got three coats on the car, looks great according to Al!  We are going to let the paint "cure" for a week, then put doors/hood/boot lid back on.  Don't you love this color?

Bodywork Continues

Our schedule of one person per day assisting Dave Folk has been working pretty well.  We did lose one day due to temps being too low to spray.  Here's a picture of Dave spraying primer on the trunk lid and hood:

Next week should be above 60 degrees every day, so we ought to be able to get a lot of finish color applied.

Back to Body Work

The new radiator was installed March 29.  The car is now ready to return to Dave Folk's for continued bodywork and then paint, now that warmer weather is here.  Here's a picture of the car on it's way back to Dave's:

Based on Dave and Al's prior experience doing bodywork and paint, basically we need to have one person there at a time to assist Dave.  We have worked out a schedule starting April 4th for two weeks where each weekday one club member will go to Dave's in Tennyson at 10:00am and assist him until they get tired or to a good stopping point.  The paint has also been purchased.  Great progress!
