It is time to take the car down to the paint booth and change the colors. The attached photo shows the loading process. Saturday morning we finished the detail work and sprayed a sandable primer. More later....

    Great looking car!! What color is it going to be? I'm not sure I could get used to right hand driving. Keep us post on the progress.

    Top and fenders will be black. The inset will be British Racing Green--perhaps a tan, gold or yellow pinstripe? We will use a combination of brown and tan for the interior and the carpet will be brown edged in the darker brown leather. We plan to stay as close to the original patterns that were in the car.



    I lived in England for a few years back in the 60's. Being young, driving on the "English side of the road" was a challenge that only took a few days to master. I have had the car out and around the neighborhood and had to get it up to 3 gear just to see how she drove. I went from never being in the car to very comfortable in just a few blocks. I think the hardest part is shifting with my left hand. But both car and driver make it with no major problems.
