Serious masking session today. Moved over to the paint booth.

Epoxy sealer laid down on the insides, bottom sides, and fender wells. 

We will build it if it comes.

Man, that epoxy is looking good!!  Just like having a new ’66 Bug, but better!

Staying tune for the Sea Blue edition….

Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore!

I gathered up some missing brake parts and prepped for a sand blast session. The new/clean Empi torsion arms lended themselves nicely to tig welding the end caps, and a little profile work on the seams/casting numbers.

Pat painted the hood and decklid earlier.

We will build it if it comes.

More shiny L360 just laid down.

Drllled and spot-faced the backside of the rear drums for 7/16” studs to match the front disc brake kit. Press-fit .010” on the studs and a couple of tig beads to prevent them from spinning.

Notched spring plates for cal-look lowered stance. What do you think for tires? Like a 205/70 rear and 145/80 front?
Ready for a paint session tomorrow. What color? Gloss black?
