Very slowly right now....I'm wrapping up the body repair in the back of the BE while I still have the trunk pan out and may be obsessing with it a little too much but I want it to look decent. I am moving a little faster now with replacing some of the rusted areas behind and over the rear wheel arches (fairly small thankfully) with panels I fabricated from hand. They actually turned out fairly well. I'm tacking them into place to make certain everything lines up and once that's done, which will hopefully be by the end of the month, I can weld in the trunk panel. I'll take care of a couple other areas while the car is upside down then VOILA! I can get it right side up! I hope to have it upright by mid January. I will paint/seal/undercoat (probably bed liner) the bottom while upside down as well. Once upright I will be able to start moving fairly quickly as there isn't much body work left at that stage. As I am painting the car myself, I'm going about that a little differently than some I see. I will paint the interior and engine bay, once completely prepped amd start assembling the car. Once completely assembled, I'll paint the exterior. My garage space is limited so think that may be a more practical approach for me. Besides, I'm not ashamed to drive it in primer! The color I settled on is 1964 Cobra Guardsman Blue with Wimbledom white racing stripes and a dark blue interior. I'm going to paint the dash blue as well just for something slightly different. I'm a little more adept at the mechanics (but by no means a pro) than body work/welding so hopefully things will go together well. I sprayed the rear axle housing, front A arms, gas tank and other pieces with Eastwood chassis black.
My goal is to give myself a birthday present in May and have the car on the road! Whether it's completely painted or not is another story...
