Center caps are on! Thanks @butteiful I'll get some more pics when I take the car for a drive this weekend.

Nice! For some reason I didn't think your car was drivable at the moment. Now we definitely need to go for a drive.

Great transformation!

Nice switch, I see why you had always wanted to move on from the Borbet's...... I guess that far north they would work for snows....🤪

Lol indeed. Yeah. I think I drifted into "in for a penny. in for a pound" mode. I went from aiming for a daily driver to something altogether different, but I'm still aiming to drive it daily. Yes! I think I found a painter! Thanks for asking. Ragtops and Roadsters! Prolly way more than I anticipated spending, but I visited their mechanical shop on Friday and was blessed with a tour by one of their mechanics. They had ~ 15 British, Italian, and German cars and a 1924 Packard in the shop on two floors of their very cool space. I'm hoping to visit their other location where they do the painting this week.

Same! 🙏 Thank you for the advice! All the custom shops seem to be an hour away so it's taking a while to find them. I have a short list of 3 after talking to 17 shops. I'm waiting for call backs and am going to visit 2 of them tomorrow. I could be persuaded to go with PPG, but I'm willing to pay a bit more for Glasurit. I'm determined to have it back on the road this year - unless scheduling dictates it gets painted in the fall. We shall see.

Thans @Mikesmalaga72 I appreciate the encouragement. I've had some busy weekends and seem to have torn something in my shoulder trying to wrench out the rear brake line - laying under the car with arms above head. I'm chipping away, but more slowly. Also, still trying to find an auto body since the guy I'd scheduled crapped out on me.

Keep up the fine work there!

Allright, that's what you've been up to and not telling me! 👍

Very impressive work! Kudos!
