Not much going on at the moment. Still waiting for more panels to be painted. The bodyman had to get a car finished and delivered last week to free up the paint booth.

Here are some photos of the flares and scoop in primer. Hopefully some paint on these parts next week.

I can't say enough about 68l30, a.k.a. OhioSteve, who refinished the case for my alternator. I never liked the paint that the original rebuilder put on the case and once I stripped it off, I wasn't too happy about the dark crusty appearance of the original pot metal either.

OhioSteve was kind enough to offer to run the case through his metal refinishing tumbler process and it came out awesome!

Here's the results after I got the case back today and reassembled everything. Looks just like it was hot off the assembly line. Even the original date/part number stampings look crisp and clean like they were just done 14,176 days ago.

Aint she just so purdy!
