Pretty in pink but stunning in inca red.....

Here's the pan before sandblasting, pan halves, etc.

disassembly is underway....

Firewall needs some detail attention...

Here she is stripped....

And now for the pan...

The engine before....

Two new pan halves and here's the pan in primer....

And after paint ...

Josh puts the new chassis together.... here's the new front beam....

After stripping the back decklid down, we found out that the previous owner grafted in vents....

The previous owner also had some serious fire-wall issues....

So Tim did some work and here it is in primer....

Some holes in the package tray needed to be filled in...

The doors are stripped down to the metal and ready to be fitted, then primed....

And the back fenders are primed and fitted....

Last coat of primer...

Here she is in base coat- inca red- looks copper here.... 

and bronze here....

But here she's cleared and inca red it is!

Here she is partly assembled...

Now, Tim fits the top on....

Look at the beautiful undercarriage....
