Hey Steve, this nugget was posted on a CHP related Facebook group. Anything here look familiar?

I wonder if that isn't the intersection of Highway 140 and Highway 165 back in the day. While just within the very northern limits of the Los Banos area, I never had occasion to go up there.

Last Friday, now being slightly mobile, I was able to get to the shop and visit 0327. Over the last month most of the metal pieces taken off the body have been painted. Doors are painted black, hood scoop, hood trim, etc. Next the doors will get the white paint, then the body will be painted.
I think once the body is painted things will move along much faster.

End of January Update
I visited 0327 last week. The body is being painted now. The black areas are mostly done; next is the white top, then the parts (doors, trunk, hood, etc. go back on). I am shooting for an end of February completion of the body and paint, then the interior will start.
Below are some photos. This guy likes to paint the body in sections. Seems odd to me, but it's the way he does it; he's the artist and I would never tell an artist they're holding the brush wrong...

Looking good Steve. My car was painted in that same sequence as well.

I'm happy to know this isn't an unusual process at all; thanks for the comments.
When we begin the journey of restoration, especially when it takes a long time, sometimes it's useful to take a look back and see what we started with. I've had to be patient with the progress, but I do believe it is being done right. Just as a comparison, here's a pic of what 0327's back end looked like when it was stripped down and what it looks like today.
