Been a long time since I posted, but I’ve been a bit busy painting, wet sanding, painting some more, wet sanding again and then buffing, polishing, touching up a few mistakes, painting panels again when I couldn’t touch them up....
Anyway, I’ve finally gotten it to a point where I feel that I can share a more completed project. For the remaining fiddly bits, I’ll do detailed posts. But for now, just a few pictures.

When I first started painting in the Barn, dust wasn’t a problem. But after a year or so, I ended up setting up a home made “paint booth” to help control dust and the occasional bug.

Buffing. Lots and lots of buffing

Did i mention buffing? And just a little bit of polishing (honestly, the whole car will need gone over by someone a bit better than me--but I'm happy enough with it for now.)

Assembly is the reverse of disassembly...well, not quite. Another new radiator (I wasn't happy with the old one--this is a much better fit. From a Datsun 240Z --with enough cooling for a V8.)

Wonder where they got the grill idea for the old batmobile, eh?

A little dusty, but looking like a real car again.
