Rise and sand

Slowly but surely, the first foot or so of the rear clip is taking shape. This has always been the favorite part of this car. The curves of the rear panel combined with the charming and unique badging and bumpers are the best features of an already beautiful car. It's fitting that here is where the real body work begins.

There was so much dust on the floor of the shop from sanding all weekend, it seemed like the only remedy was to hose out the building.

A worklight is making the process of fine-tuning the panels a bit easier, but this crappy one may need to be traded for a brighter, LED light.
