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.
