Hey Dave, Saw your latest video and it looks like you're super close to paint, congrats.
Looks good!

Thanks guys! Yep, going to start painting in about a week. Several stages of the process and it’ll take a few days. I’m pretty excited and can’t wait!! Been very busy with a few things around here so I haven’t had time ti update things, but I’ll be back on track once it’s sitting in Federweiss. Pics to come later this month. Happy August!

Cheers
Dave

Good luck Dave. That will be exciting to see your creation painted

And it begins! Undercarriage, engine bay, jambs, trunk, interior are all painted Federweiss. Underside of the hood and deck lid are tomorrow. Then I’ll assemble so I can paint the exterior as one piece Friday! Woohoo!:headbang:

More to come over the weekend! Just in time for Monterey Week where 3 507s will go across the block!

Cheers

Your motivation always impresses me to no end!!!

This will be the most special 507 in the world!!!

----Motivation,,,,,,and energy!!!.....Bill S

What a work of art this 507 is. There are very few people in this world I believe that can pull this off with the tools/equipment that Dave worked with. Blows my mind every time I see pictures of it.

You guys are awesome! Thank you! Final walk around with a pencil and tape to circle any imperfections I see prior to color. More to come!!

Cheers
Dave

To make the heart of the build more authentically BMW?

Well, that's a 502 motor. The 507's was a little different and man, did you see the cracks in that thing? Yikes! Nothing a little JB Weld can't fix!:shocked:

Sadly, on this day in 1977, Elvis passed away. Fittingly though, my 507 is painted in the same color as his, Federweiss!
