This at least shows the thin skin coat used to fill the pinholes and provide a nice smooth finish to the fibreglas filled areas. This is before sanding of course.

Mark, you will be one of those guys at car shows who bring mirrors with them so everyone can see how pretty the bottom of the car is  That's a lot of work but is going to look great.

Nope. True car fans will have to ride the creeper for a peeker....

Only in a car forum can you say things like that……..

I used the mirror half of a makeup container I broke off slid under my shoes laces. Mini skirts were popular in the 80s when I was in school but so were panties. 

 

I am considering having a wheel lug stand made so I can pull a wheel off at car shows to show off the brakes and suspension goodies. Might be enough to show off the underside a little.

 Or a trick motor driven rotisserie that would slowly barrel roll the car. In all reality tho, I do love your attention to detail. Changing a sows ear into a silk purse comes to mind.

Thank you. It can be a curse tho. Sometimes it feels as though I obsess over small details to avoid tackling the next challenge. I am nervous about spraying the base and clear coats, so maybe that's why it's taking me so long to finish the small detail work.
Hmmmm.

Mark, You're going to need therapy when this car gets its first scratch. So much detail, I think I would have lost interest in sanding a long time before starting on the rails.  

Thanks guys! Working on this car IS my therapy! If I could only get the army to pay for a "companion car" instead of a service dog.... I think my mental health would drastically improve

Did a little cleanup in the engine bay tonight.

Mostly boring work and little to show. Detail work on the inner fenders and engine bay. Sanding down the DTM 2K and prepping for seam sealer and primer sealant.






And a couple of quarter shots for reference later.
