Got some wheels on and dropped the car the other day, and rolled it out of the garage. Was pretty curious to see how it looks in the sun. The orange peel is driving me nuts but I think it'll be swell once I can get it all back together and start wetsanding. 


Rolled out:





This cleared out some room for the second iteration of painting. I ended up setting the wing on a trash can for primer, and then ran out of primer before I could get it all done, so it's stashed for now and just the hood, deck and doors are up. 




Primed - adios, green door:



Green door? What are you talking about? These doors are red!



I put down my third and fourth coats of base this morning and am planning on spending a couple hours tonight and dropping four coats of clear. Hopefully I get time this week to bolt things back on, at least so everything isn't spread out so much and the car isn't sitting outside. It's a good thing there aren't many people around where I live, because the car has been sitting out with no doors or hood for several days.
