6 weeks since my last update. Things have been moving slowly for me but I'm now ready to move on with things.
I spent an inordinate amount of time blocking the hood out to make sure I was going to be satisfied with the reflections this time. I also made a few adjustments to my paint procedures to see if I could reduce the amount of urethane wave I was getting.







Very happy with them both now! I did seem to get less urethane wave too and am pretty confident that after they are color sanded and polished, no wave will be seen.

I talked to the guy at the interior shop last week to discuss when he thought he might be able to install the convertible top. He's working on just one job he wants to get out of the way first and he thought that would take about another week. . He told me to call him at the end of this week and he should then be able to give me the day to drive it on over to his shop.
So this week I am going to get the car insured, registration done at the DMV and put the license plates on.

I got the next door neighbor to come over and help me install the hood and trunk lid back on the car and then I installed the rest of the seats. Even though the seats will come back out at the interior shop, in the car is the best way to transport them there.
