Essex, you've been busy.

Blacks my go to color on most cars, hard to go wrong with that.

Thank you sammons, I do like to make car parts from things that aren't meant
for it. It's good fun, especially when it works and has a different look to it.
You also, TFoch. The AI rendering looks very nice. I did use it to make
 a better one in Photoshop, with the right proportions, I'll post that pic from
my phone if I remember to do it. It looks almost the same, you might not see
the difference.

The garnish moldings were primered, ready for a scuff and final paint.
I removed all the removable sheet metal form the car and sanded the parts
with 180 grit.



I covered the body and engine with the same film that I hung up to part off
the painty side of the garage.
After washing everything with wax and silicone remover I sprayed a couple
coats of epoxy on the fenders, aprons, running board moldings and head light buckets.



Today I started block sanding, one of the aprons hardly needs any filler at all.
Sanding is not exactly fun, but it's progress. Tomorrow when the garage should
be suffuciently warm I'll start applying filler.

Essex looking good man.  There are so many "unattractive" parts on a car that are just a nessesary evil. But... you keep them neat and in an orderly manner, everbody has to have them😁  And yes like your brake adjuster rod... use what you have works for me👍 Thats why i had such a big hoard of left over and used parts. It cost a lot more to build these things if you were to go out and buy all new stuff.

Anyway... keep up the good work!

Thank you TFoch. It feels like having the primaries custom
mandrel bent in stainless was a pretty good decision, they do make
the look I was after.

I took the rear fenders off the car for the Nth time, cleaned the inside
one more time with a wirebrush on the side grinder, then brushed on
rust converter.

I modified a press tool I made a couple years ago and made a shallow
indentation in the right hand side of the dash for the brass Fisher emblem.

Then I dug out all the garnish moldings and sandblasted and ground them
with 320 grit on the D/A.

I made a new todo-list the other day. It?s?. Overwhelming. I will have to
color code the tick boxes to Pre-paint, Driveable and Optional.

Glad you're doing better!
Tom
