Just a few small updates from the paint shop.  

Got the Exhaust manifold off to be ceramic coated, Air cleaner is being powder coated at the same place.  Been adding a few pars to the motor.  Will try and get the rest of the plated items wire wheeled this weekend.

The dog days of restoration.  Hours at the wheel prepping parts for plating.  It will be all worth while when we start putting this all back together.  Separating yellow zinc from clear zinc.  A few motor additions.  Attention to the small details are what makes it all come together nicely.

A lot of work going on at the body/paint shop.  Miguel is pretty much taking everything down to the bare metal and fixing it up correctly.  This is really the right way to do the job.  In the first pic, everything kind of looks OK, but underneath it's a different story.  Bumper attachment has been aligned.  New sheet metal installed on the back end, beautiful work.

Got a large batch of freshly zinced parts in today.  The pictures look lousy but the parts look great.  Not sure why the 'gold' color does not work well on the camera.  Also picked up the powder coated air cleaner and ceramic coated exhaust manifold.  They really look great.  Loosely placed a couple of parts on the motor just to see how they look.  It's almost like Christmas :)
