Well, the car is now in the hands of my painters.
I have to admit that I get a bit proud when I get cred for my work with the body from the painter. All these hours spent... I got paid today
Not much for them to fix, just some minor dents that I did not see at all.

The painter promised me some pics on my mobile when it starts to look like a car again.
So maybe there will be some sneaks before sunday ;

Nope, but I am changing to some other walls on the new tires. These ones are to high.

I am going to use 3/8" lines and valves. The old setup which is in the car now is only 1/4" lines and manual air switches, no valves at all.

I just had to do something tonight...



Added some chrome to the air intake under the window to add a contrast to the flat paint.
