Sheet metal work is impressive. Particularly the first rounded contour shape on tunnel WOW

Very Nice

Nice spring breeze will dry her out...


Time to prep for primer. Trunk, cabin floor, firewall, rear wheel tubs, etc.

Floor (both sides), rear wheel tubs, trunk, roof (inside), A-/B-pillars, firewall, engine bay front inner fenders, etc, painted.









C4 frontmember installation completed.




Tomorrow the rear axle will find its place. Things are moving on. At the end of the next week, the painter will come and collect the shell for some bodywork and paint.

You are correct. #38 shows it well, too. It is used to get rid of welding fumes etc.

While the car went to the painter, it was time for a family holiday trip. Got a chance to get some detailing stuff at the same time

Thanks!

Just got home from a two week family vacation from Florida and found this waiting at the front yard







Now it is time to start put it together. Coolest part of the project. Working with cleaned, rebuilt or new parts.
