I spent the day at Ron's today. This was this morning with all body parts in final guide coat and the rear clip 80% wet sanded: By the end of the day, three of us had all parts wet sanded with 400 grit and all traces of the blue are gone. Of course, so are my finger prints! Painting...

Paint is getting nearer!

Rich that picture is after installation, primer, and first round of block sanding. When it is finished all you will see is that hole.

Jay, it was great speaking to you yesterday and I look forward to receiving my order. Thanks!

The car will be painted on Friday!!!! My color selection is basically the same as Bill's, but I will not have the numbers and will have a sill stripe and white pinstripe separating the blue and orange. Here are the first body sections fresh from wet sanding. They do need a good wash down...

Chuck, Excellent assessment on the weatherstripping required. I have aligned my doors with spacers and am now looking for the right size weather stripping to match the spacers. I'll give the 5/8" a try and let you know how it goes. Thanks.

Hey, how about some pictures of that killer interior?

So do many of the exported products (pet food, children toys, auto parts, etc.). Parhaps your post was truly indicative?

Welcome, Gus! You can't go wrong with Chris: http://www.gt40s.com/forum/vendor-manufacturer-announcements/24485-vintage-sponsorship-decals-graphics.html

Great videos! I'll be there also, Ron. I'm busting my butt to get the car done, but there will be many little things not complete. Maybe this time I'll see both you and your car!

Chris, The sill paint masks came on Friday and they are excellent quality! They even included directions and a squeegie. I sincerely appreciate both the excellent customer service in getting them to me quickly recognizing my paint schedule and the high quality product. Thanks!

Re: Nick's (I'll get there one day) Build Log I'm with you, Nick. I like the sound also! Plus, the sound is behind you. You just have to go fast enough to outrun it!

So far, I've seen a sawsall, circular saw, and now router used on my car. I'm not sure if Ron is running an auto shop or carpenter shop! Here, Jose is using the router to slightly deepen the mounting flange for the rear clip vent grill. We want it to sit flush to the body. It will end up...

You two need to get a room! Priming and blocking this week, paint next week. I am determined to make it to Carlisle. I'm puting the headlights together as I write this and they will get them bonded in on Friday. It will be a squeeker! Fran, save a spot for me!

I also need to adjust the front caster. In order to get it close enough for fine tuning, I need to move about 3/4" of shims from in front of the bottom control arms to behind the lower control arms, effectively moving the front wheels further forward a little bit. This will center the wheels...

Are we getting a Fran coloring book? Hey Chuck, we could just color our own in what ever colors fit.

Man, I tried acetone, lacquer thinner, even alcohol. Nothing would take that scribbling off the roof!:laugh:

Chris, I found the sill decal mask I needed on your web site and placed the order tonight. 29 April delivery will get it to me just in time for paint! While I was there, I found the exact decals I was looking for for my daytona coupe!!! I included them in the order. Here is is before the...

Thanks, Mike. I posted on his thread.

Chris, can you make me paint masks for the sill stripes that say GT40? I need two and fairly quickly. I will be in paint in two weeks. Thanks.
