Winter pics
It turned out to be a nice day today and I had to clean up the garage, so I pushed the car outside and got a few update shots for ya.
I blocked the car down with 400 last night and the body is starting to look great!
I still have to finish and fit the hood and then after a few more nights of sanding, I should be ready for paint.
Here are the latest pictures I hope you'll enjoy:

Hi Ian,
Your car is really looking great!!!
You're almost at the point when the first of the paint goes on and EVERYTHING changes. Although I didn't spray mine, I remember that feeling like it just happened this morning. Suddenly, ALL the work pays off.
I ENJOYED your pictures!!!
Regards,
Alan

Pick-up HWCoop along the way and bring both vettes here

Maybe we can meet halfway in Regina or something
I'm starting to chicken out on painting it myself. My garage just doesn't have the ventilation that is needed to exhaust the fumes and keep the ambient temps up.

You should have a constant 70 degrees or better, booth has heat, dust free, lighting and is safer than burning down your shop
Your car is looking great Ian, looks like you are almost there!!

What type of heat and paint exhaust system are you using?
Specifically how are you able to keep your paint area heated
while exhausting the paint overspray and fumes?
I am asking as I have a heated garage myself and a large wall
mounted exhaust fan. I cannot run the exhaust in winter as
it pulls the heat out faster than the furnace can produce it.
