Time for another 6 month update. Still painting. Some days I get lucky and it sprays nicely, but most times I stink and have bad orange peel. Wet sanding is my newest found hobby. Here are some more pics from along the way. I still have top, hood and flares.

Working on hood now. This has taken more work than expected. In first picture you can see the raised center was not even. I fixed that, but the passenger side edge still sits above the fender about halfway of the front to back length. I wasn’t willing to cut and re-glass the hood so will have to live with it. You can see where else I had to work it. Also had to cut under hood brace to clear core support. I have the spacers/shim behind hinges, but that wasn’t enough. And of course I scratched through the hood pin coating while sanding so sanded them down entirely to aluminum.

Digging the flush windshield. What were the steps you did for the black perimeter if you don't mind to share. TIA and great looking build!
