Aerodynamic Enhancement

During the down times waiting for electrical components (pay as you go?), I spent time on conventional restoration tasks that would produce a clean smooth body for the drivetrain to push! Most times on my projects I spend as much time doing this work as I do on the mechanical, On this project it was more or less a diversion hat had to be done.

Because of the hurry up and wait approach, I ended up doing the overall paint job in about 5 segments. Okay, I admit, at my age even a small car like this took small bites to conserve my energy. There's a reason bodywork and paint jobs cost so much - very labor intensive.

1. paint dash+new pad and paint car interior
2. paint roof, lids and front cowl to trim line
3. paint rear half of car
4. paint doors
5. paint front of car
