Decorating the tree in preparations for paint....... The story of a carrier restoration, it brings back memories of mine.
Fantastic looking job, it'll look great once you're done. It has all the nice little trinkets. |

Thanks for the comments everyone it has been a lot of work but I can see light at the end of the tunnel now
![]() For the next paint session it was a great day and +15 so I started early thinking I had plenty of time but wrong, It was about 8:30 that night when I got finished but had great results ![]() |

The next day I assembled the seat hardware together as well as the rear antenna mount so its ready to install when that time comes. The rear mount is a thing of beauty and I just polished up the brass and cleared it for the moment as I know it was painted but i like the looks for now.

So the next step I took was to install the vision shutters so I laid all of the hardware out and got it ready to install.
As I first tested it with the original spacers between the shutters I could barely move them up and down as it was very tight and would scratch that nice paint ![]() ![]() |
