Hey Dale, I take it from the post by pone65 that you have just become a Grandfather? If so - Congratulations to you and yours.

There is no need to worry about the wheels off the car. there is NO overspray on them. They are well protected in bubble wrap -

Andy has been working on the bits and pieces -

A minor repair was required inside the lip of the bootlid -

He is also working on the inside of the bonnet -

Guide coats have been sprayed onto the body ready for final rubbing -

Top coats should be sprayed next week.

Rocket.

Yes guys Mary & I became Grand parents on Tuesday afternoon to a 9 pound 4 ounce baby boy named Zackery .

We are thrilled...........

ps......The car is looking awesome, I forgot to ask Jeremy if he has a standard rear valance for it.

Congratulations Dale that's great news

Stiiiiiiiiiillllll Rubbing.

Thought Andy would be giving the Fastback a final wetrub today. Wrong! He decided it still needed a final blocking back.

This is the tedious stage where it seems to be never ending.

He loosely fitted the front guards to complete the blocking back of the body

This all means yet another light coat of primer tomorrow, then wait for it to dry before the final wetrub - hopefully.
He is a fussy bugger, which really is a very good thing for the finished job. Sometimes feel like putting a cracker up his clacker, but we know the end result is worth having some patience.

Rocket.

Its my next stage.
Car is really looking good.

Yep....Andy has finished the wetrubbing -

Now it is off with the old masking paper -

And on with the new -

Then a quick touchup on the wheel arch of the quarter panel.

Tomorrow is the big day for Topcoats.

Rocket did you have a standard rear valance to put on it, because I gave the GT one that was on it to Jeremy to use...

rocket · « **Reply #90 on:** June 30, 2011, 06:12:46 pm »

Not sure gramps - will find out from Jeremy in the morning.

Hope zackery is settling in well at home with his mum and dad.

She`s Black!

Andy is working for a couple of hours this morning painting bits and pieces.

He told me if i want photos today - take them and get out of there. He does not let any of us in there when he is painting until it is all dry.

Took the photos and here they are -
