After spending a long Saturday filling and sanding the car it is now a bit closer to being ready for paint. I still think I have several more days of sanding the car as it is taking much longer than expected. Instead of continuing with it this week I have decided to spend the rest of the week (and my Holiday) painting the underside of the car. To do this I spent the afternoon removing the shell from the chassis. As well as painting the underside of the car I also need to waxoyl the chassis before I put the shell back on. I could always waxoyl the chassis later but it will be far easier with the shell removed. I hope to have all this completed by the end of the week so I can put the body back onto the chassis before I return to work. As well as these major tasks I have a list of much quicker and simpler items that need to be done such as having some parts shot blasted and painted and to finish the exhaust system off. The main item that needs to be done with the exhaust is to move a bracket. This needs to be done now as it will not be possible to weld it once the shell is back on.
