Hey Dave!

Haven't posted any updates since they're boring and not overly exciting, but I've turned a page and am in the final block sanding stretch!

I'll have more in the coming days/ weeks leading to paint. Next week I drop things off at the chrome shop. Woohoo!

Thanks for checking in!

Cheers
Dave

Thanks, Mark! I need to do more, but making vids means less time actually working on what it is in making the video about!

Here's the 220 round and some lows that need to be fixed. I also needed to fabricate the wood header and extend the other bows on the donor top I'm using. Also made up the retaining strip which will go into the pile of chrome parts I need plated. This is just a sheet I used to see where I needed to extend the bows.

The rear bow needs to be extended and the middle two raised with a foam spacer. That should match up with the original lines. Should be down to 320 by the weekend!

Cheers
Dave

This is the sister car to Chassis 70079, Elvis' former car, which were both owned by the late Jack Castor.
This is the blue car in the videos showing the two cars together.
This is the color combo of mine when done!

Cheers
Dave

Thanks guys! Yep, going to start painting in about a week. Several stages of the process and it’ll take a few days. I’m pretty excited and can’t wait!! Been very busy with a few things around here so I haven’t had time ti update things, but I’ll be back on track once it’s sitting in Federweiss. Pics to come later this month. Happy August!

Cheers
Dave

And it begins! Undercarriage, engine bay, jambs, trunk, interior are all painted Federweiss. Underside of the hood and deck lid are tomorrow. Then I’ll assemble so I can paint the exterior as one piece Friday! Woohoo!
