1963 Midget Body Update
So, all the suspension, steering & brakes are ready to go back under it when it gets home; the transmission is rebuilt, the radiator, heater core, & gas tank are all renewed...just waiting for the engine to get out of the machine shop
... the body is almost ready for its epoxy primer! Turns out the car has only been repainted once so what we're doing is stripping everything except the factory paint....here's a few photos as they complete sanding all that aftermarket paint and primer off.....next is white epoxy primer then bodywork!
Somewhere in its history, the little car's been in an accident that affected the driver front fender & a place on the butt - they'll smooth the body without adding bondo (they've got all the old bondo off already).
& somewhere in its history a PO painted the trunk black - that comes off tomorrow when they start sanding the interior & engine compartment.
We're gonna do the underside with bedliner that's tinted the correct red; wheelwells will get a smooth, high gloss red just like the body but everything else underneath will get the bedliner:
