On the weekends I spend hours out in the garage in 100 plus temps with the Arizona monsoon humidity working on the car. This car seems like it will take forever to finish. I got all the body panels back from the media blasters only to find hairline cracks all over. I should not complain because rust is almost none existent. All of the cracks have been welded and ground, so it's back to trial fitting.
TR3's seem to be more of a challenge than the TR6 to get it all right before paint. I may change my plans to have the car painted in pieces, and then put it back together. New plan may be to paint all of the shell except for top surface areas. Then bolt it down to the chassis. Next to paint all the undersides of the fenders, doors, bonnet, apron, and deck lid. Then put all panels on the car for final block sanding, and painting. This will require a lot of carefull masking so you don't see any mask lines, or overspray. Then to install the SS beading without damaging the paint. Fun Fun
Well that was part of my sound off, just getting a bit frustrated I think. Can't wait for summer to end. Everybody else enjoy your summer, and drive those cars.
