The Galaxie is back from the paint shop! Strangely enough the icing on the cake is the roof. Although not strictly correct (it should all be Viking Blue) the roof really does set the car off and I am glad that I made the decision.
I think that I may have made my last purchase from Dearbourne Classics. Lordy I must have dropped at least three grand with these people. Still everything I bought was top quality and at least the staff know what they are talking about(unlike those unfeeling bastards at Dennis Carpenter). Anyway the final order was all the little things that I had forgotten like coat hangers, lamp gaskets and paint for the kick panels.
Last night I replaced the rubber seals around the quarter light and it only took about two hours. This is the one that is out of the car, the passenger side is still in the door so I have a bad feeling that I will need to remove it to replace the seal, ho hum. Perhaps I will start by replacing the windshield. So much to do and so little time.
Tomorrow I will be working on the rebuild and if I remember to take the camera I will get some pictures to post on Friday. Watch this space.
