Not too far behind this scene, I still need about a minimum 10-20 hours (probably more like 50-100) metal work/prep-time to get remotely close....but pictures give incentive!

I noticed you had the front bumper brackets installed when you priming and painting the car.  Did you find evidence of red primer under the front bumper brackets or were they just there to hold the car on the rotiserre

They are there to hold the car on the rotisserie.

I asked this in other locations, but why is the car not painted in the order the factory painted?  Primer, first then top coat.  Why do the undercarriage last and mask off the whole car?

All 3 of my Cyclones (68 and 2 69) Have the same color brown(taupe) on the floor as your car. I custom mixed a color to match. What did you use ?

There are lots of different procedures and mountings on the actual assembly line painting. The goal is to duplicate the original look. Tons of thought was put into that to make it happen. BTW, in the pictures above, the outside body is not even painted yet. More pictures very soon.

All colors were custom matched to what was originally found on the car.
