PAINT & BODYWORK
It’s time for paint and bodywork. I stripped all the pieces off before I took it to the body shop. Since it was not exactly street legal, I took it over on a trailer.
They have stripped the drivers side down to bare fiberglass and are fixing the cracks and broken places. Looks a little different. Sort of like a tiger shark paint scheme.
In the paint booth. I personally took parts off to be painted separately – like the hood , wiper door, exhaust filler, and side grills. Even though the body shop owner said they would do a good job, I was afraid the workers may try to cut some corners and not take the parts off.
The left hinge area had been broken some time ago. Someone had rigged up a fix. The body shop said they could repair this part but I was skeptical. They fixed it though.
