Although I've not mentioned it in a while, work on the '65 roadster has been slowly progressing in the background. All the welding work has been completed - the n/s rear wing was replaced, along with the complete inner and outer wheel arch, the rear panel and valance were replaced, as were the boot corner panels. After a few small repairs to other areas, the car was removed from the roll-over jig, and it was time to start making sure everything lined up.The car is now prepped and nearly ready for top coat. The doors have been checked and adjusted for fit, the wings are fitted, as is a new front valance. Any edges and areas on these panels that are hidden, were painted before fitting, to make sure no areas were left in primer.
The engine bay and boot are painted first, and will be masked off when the outer is painted, to prevent over spray. As you can see, the car is being painted in Iris blue - the colour it left the factory. Before long the car should be this colour all over, and ready for rebuilding.
