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.

Be sure and try to take as many photos as possible of the body work and paint process. They are vital documentation of the quality of your restoration and play an important part in establishing the value of your car.

As of Jan 31, the white roof and sail panels are complete. Windshield and back window trim are installed. Next the doors will go back on, followed by the fenders. The front end (that goes over the bumper bar and includes the grill) came out rough on first painting, so it was sanded down again and it will be repainted next week.

Looking great, Steve. These stages are always exciting. One day I’ll get there!

Slowly but Surely...
Visited 0327 in the shop today. The rear end is all put together (pic 1). Driver's door is assembled and in place (pic 2). Next will be passenger door, fenders, then hood, then front end.
The reason it's taken so long is my friend takes everything apart, cleans, removes rust/reconditions every part, then reassembles. Hardware and metal fasteners get tumbled to clean them. He took the doors completely apart; windows out, all mechanical components. Cleaned inside and out, then painted both sides. Removed all rust and cleaned the parts. Reassembled with new rubber and greased the moving parts. It's like new. A lot of details I'm not sure I would have done myself, but that door in place operates like new. Perfectly aligned, closes solidly, etc. I'm getting the interior shop down the street all lined up and ready. He says with all materials and components he can knock that out in 2 days. We'll see...
