The restoration continues….we have some more parts painted. We also started the repairs to the rear fender skirts.


Here are the door hinges, trunk hinges, trunk lid and the grille surround painted the body color.


The convertible top bows and irons were all sandblasted and primed. They were all in great shape and needed very little work.


The primer on the convertible top parts was sanded smooth and then they were painted the original tan/light brown color.


The rear fender skirts were bead blasted and pre-fit to the quarter panels. Shown here after bead blasting.


After we knew they fit correctly, we then removed a few dents and sprayed them with primer. I think the car is going to look great with fender skirts.
