After 4 months of block sanding and some metal work, my coach is finally painted. Gloss black textured on the top, and gloss base and clear on the body. Rick and his guys did an awesome job on this car.
My 60 superior just got painted.

it appears to be black and sitting on the spare to drive it been there a time or two. keep us posted as it goes back together.
Thanks everyone. It's so good to get support when building a pro car. The cars are not easy to fix, and really expensive.
It is really shaping up well. I like what you have done with the roof. When do you think that you will start putting it all back together? It seems like a daunting task, but you just keep chipping away at it a little at a time, and before you realize it, it will be ready for the road.
Hopefully by next spring it will be finished. I have an extensive amound of interior to do. Cranging the color so everything has to be redone. Attila might post a pic of a door panel after while. I found 1959 Cadillac Biarritz material for the accent trim. But everything will look original.

One thing at a time !
Each step will be one closer to you driving that beauty !
Make sure you enjoy doing it. The goal is driving it but put your heart into each step so the final product is one of your dreams.
That way you will know you did your best and that will result in your final product being incredible.
If you are having fun on the journey, it will make the destination all that much better.
Don't rush it, you don't want to say I wish I had of done this or that better when it is done. It takes a small amount of time more when you are working on it before it is finished verses trying to redo it when it's completed.
Just a recommendation having done many projects of different kinds over the years.
Keep us in the loop on your progress. We love seeing photos and a car coming back to life during a restoration.
All the best,
Darren

I had toys once, now it just stuff I don't use anymore. as for money it's the biggest curse in the world. I must be getting old. I keep thinking what am I going to do with all this stuff. will I guess I'll just keep pounding tin till it goes away.
Wow Stephen, the body and paint look great (and thanks Atti for the pics). I'm in the thick of restoring a '60 S&S that I can only hope will get a paint job that sharp. Nice to see one that's a bit further along.
Having the patience to do things right the first time, and to a standard you will be happy with is what I'm finding to be the key. Please keep the updates and pics coming!
