Painting Begins

Chrome is at the chromer and painting has begun! Perhaps we will meet our Thanksgiving deadline after all! You can start to see the black here in the doors. They have to do about three or four coats of black paint and then a few coats of clear to give it that dark, rich color.


We didn't need to buy any new chrome, except for the hubcaps (those rascals!). We have to get weather strips for the windows as well. Interestingly, the upholstery guys have to pop the back window out to put the headliner on. Usually they don't have to do this but in the old '52s they have to tuck the headliner under the window.


She is stripped bare but still beautiful!
