All painted in the right places, no bare metal left on the body. The main job was to paint the places where the wood was going but I also got some black primer to shoot the wheel wells, firewall and the bare places where the chop was done. With plenty of primer left I shot most of the rest of the car to see what it would look like black. I think I like the green better, it will be that color again one day.  Garage paint booth.  Shooting the inside of the firewall.  Inside is a low gloss matte black. Now I have a black floor instead of a blue one. (painted my wife's Herald in there too a few years back) My wife Kathy sealed all the wood for me while I was painting, we'll start installing it this week. Bla bla bla

First pieces of wood are in. I think the headers (front and sides) are the hardest pieces, once they are in it should go pretty easy.

Tim, Looks good! I run a Model A coupe with a Cleveland motor but am working on a Yblock for the Coupe. You can see a picture in the Dec. issue of Car Kulture Deluxe mag on page 10-11. I work with John and Geoff Mummert. We are trying to put on the first West Coast Y-Block shootout at Barona dag strip on May 4-5th. Hope you can make it down. PS there is a Fun Ford Race the same weekend at Bakersfield. Would this be a conflict? John Hildebrand

Installed the new valance, windshield frame and old visor. Trimming of the excess to match the header.    Drill every two inches for a nail.
