Well I paid a visit to the spotlight man last night and arranged for the installation of the auxiliary light. This has to be done before the car is painted so I am hoping that he will turn up on Thursday to drill out the fender and dashboard. Most of the guys consider a Galaxie to be "dressed up" when fitted with the spotlight and a set of bumper guards. I managed to buy a set of rear guards at a bargain price of $40 (they need re-chroming) and I am bidding on two sets of front guards on Ebay as I write this. One set will need re-chroming and the other is apparently NOS so we will see.
On the good news / bad news front I gave the car its last wet and dry and then discovered two small depressions on the hood. With the primer wet and shiny they really stood out so at least I caught them before the paint went on. Of course this means that I am going to be sanding again. The plan is to fix the hood, get the spotlight hole drilled (if my man turns up) and get the car to the spray shop all on Thursday. We will see.
