Pre Spray Preparation

The car is all but sprayed. By that I mean the body has been rubbed down, and the holes left by various chrome parts being removed have been welded and filled.

The brackets for the lights have been manufactured and one has been riveted to the roof. Here you can see the car all preped for spraying. I'm supposed to get it back on Monday:

I thought I should post a picture of the car in this state. Not a big update to the blog, but thought you all might like to see this part. After this it's logo time, but I'm really looking forward to seeing the car with the lights mounted on the roof. It's going to be a major step.

If anyone has any idea how to get a long 7 foot flexible CB areal, please let me know. They don't seem to make them at that length any more, there's only one that could qualify, but it's £280 and for something cosmetic I don't think it's worth shelling that amount of money out. I have an idea on how to fabricate one, but would like an authentic one. So if anyone has one kicking around from back in the 80s let me know.......

Over and out.......
