I guess the body work is not to bad. I did get both quarter panels reshaped, They now fit the tire shape better. A before and after shot.

I like way the position of the fenders on the quarters look now. Even if you wouldn't have had to move it for the tire.

To me the quarter looks better behind the fender with a little more quarter showing.
Never underestimate the power of a lubricant.

Ghost, it looks perfect!
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Nice work.
If you lived closer, I'd get you to do my Hudson ones.  :)

I figured out the colors and BOUGHT the paint for the roadster. I have decided to paint the main body, hood and grille shell, a pure silver, and the windhield frame, and supports along with the fenders, splash aprons, running boards, and dash board a dark grey silver charcoal. Man I hope it looks as good as my imagination views it.

I think your color choice will look great. I did my old Mustang in those colors, really clean look!

A friend came by today. I enlisted him to help take the top off and seat out and help me put them in storage. Then we stood the roadster body on it's nose again, this way I can caulk all the seams with body check and get it primed, painted, and undercoated. Most of the hard body work is finished to a point. When I set it back down on my rolling cart I can start the heavy primer and blocking process.

John, I'm impressed!  The roadster has come a long way since I saw it almost two years ago.  You've been really busting ass on it and it shows.  Great job!

Thanks Tom. It never seems to go together fast enough, but most of the progress has been in the last 3 to 4 months. I'm on a mission 8)  Oh did ya notice the picture in the background?
