Finally! Some major progress!
As noted earlier, I was able to find a new trunk lid and passenger door on
my own, and the body shop was able to find a hood and drivers side door.
All of the parts are original sheet metal off of other cars, and the hood is
even an original 64.5 hood with the correct un-folded leading edge!
The parts were all media blasted and primed to match the euro-primer already on
the fenders and quarter panels. Now the car is almost all one color for the
first time in about 2 years.
Not that it is a great color though... :)
The 14th picture shows the hood during the smoothing and priming process...
Next? Nothing big. I need to pay for all of this... I will slowly begin
to move the parts from the old doors to the new ones, and also begin to
clean, paint, and re-assemble the convertible top frame.
Eventually - I will do the convertible top for the next project.
