Hey folks - got a real quick update today. Wanted to put up some new pictures to show that progress in the paint shop is really happening! Marvin is looking real sharp these days and the 'light at the end of the tunnel' is starting to get a bit brighter. Spring is coming, and the thought of finally hitting the streets with Marvin is enticing. Rushed for time a bit this morning, so this will mostly be pictures without a lot of detailed commentary.
I think when all the small bits and pieces start being prepped for paint, you know you're getting closer to the end.
Numerous batches of "bits 'n pieces" have been through the paint booth.
And, of course, sanding continues.
Doing some steering wheel mockup on the ididit column. Gonna look great!
Finally getting to see the cab and some other parts after final sanding and final polish is a real treat. It is going to be very hard to be patient to see Marvin fully re-painted and fully re-assembled. He's come a long way so far!
Finally, the motor getting dressed back up before the inner fenders and radiator/core-support go on for the final time. I think the Jet-Hot coating on the headers turned out looking real nice.
I hope I'll have more to report real soon!
