Post 34: Off to Paint


It has taken a while but the car is ready for the paint shop. The last 3-4 weeks have been fairly hectic - not all on the car though and that's why it has taken so long since the last post.


Since August I have only done a few minor tasks really, I re-conditioned the choke cable and made an attachment for the cable to fit to the carbs and also looked at fitting the ducting.  Good job I did really because there is no way to fit them once the wings are on!


Glad about the choke cable because I was able to re-work it and not have to buy new - a small thing I know but another part that is pre 1960.

Today was a day I have been waiting on now for a long time - finally off to the paint shop.  They expect 4-6 weeks and I hope to brig some progress updates along the way to the blog.
