Great going, Pat! Masking-wise, I believe we're witnessing a master perfectionist in action!

Pat;
You are seriously rockin' it brother. It will turn out beautiful, mainly because you are doing the prep work to such a high degree.
We are looking forward to see if with COLOR. Nice work Pat.

First Rate, Pat. I see your shoulder isn't slowing you down too much! Keep the pics coming!

Nothing short of artwork - here's hoping the pie-crust bias play tires won't be on the final product..

Last coat of primer!
Now 320, & then 500 grit!
Called in the professional for the final prime, and also will spray the color and clear this week-end. It will be in a heated booth.

You and your crew of thousands should have that smoothed out in no time!

I would pull tape and paper all day long instead of trying to clean off overspray. Can’t wait to see this weekend.

Looking good Pat.......I primed my 66 outside like you did years ago. Amazing you found overalls that fit over the pythons! 
Chassis looks great but you're going to hate those bias ply tires real fast.
cheers bud. :cheers.

Although, the pic is of the painter who is going to spray the color this week-end. He wanted to put the last coat of primer on, and boy am I glad he did. What a difference watching him use the paint gun versus my use of the paint gun. LOL!
I feel much more comfortable that he's going to make the silver blue look as good as it did from the factory.
The tires are only on there for rollers. They came with the car, and had never seen the roadway. They are old, real old!
Hope to have new pics on Saturday, or Sunday.
Pat
