Finish Work

Being that it's my profession, I chose to wrap the bodywork in vehicle styling film, rather than to paint it. This is clean and nontoxic process and is changeable to a different scheme if desired,
But really, what other color would I have.

All suspension, steering, and systems were removed in order to carry the 90lb body into the house. To cold in shop for this work.

Big compound curves made this more challenging than most full size cars.

Back into the cold shop for re-assembly. All steel parts were painted while out and now I can get it wet without it rusting. Time for the details to be added.

Thanks so much, Dennis . Alot of detail to though.Light weight stuff fortunately.Denny, styling film is what some companies call their wrap vinyl. Same stuff we wrap big trucks with basically.

Thanks again, both you guys.What I was attempting to type was that I had alot of detail to add yet. Nothing heavy, thank goodness, asI'm already at 262lb.

Mark.You can see zoomed in the strip planking but I neglected to get pictures of the framework beneath.The tight compounds are carved from foam.
