Ryan: I have enough time in these "new" fenders from Brookville that I might
have been better off with the originals I had. I did not realize Brookville
out sourced their Model A fenders.
Here's a few pics from the never ending paint process.

It's looking like you're making great progress on it. I do not buff anything with any good paint on it that I care about.
I'm still learning that.

Sometimes that's what it takes, especially for particular people (don't ask me how I know that....)......................................

9 Years.. I can't say a thing.
Mine traveled across the country on a trailer twice in various stages and it was 12 years before it was complete enough to say I was done.
I'd say you still got time.

Yep, the standard you have set for us amateurs to try to accomplish is well worth the journey and the time you have spend on your car. One can learn so much by going back and rereading the complete story from the start to this point in time and pickup on new stuff they may of missed the first time so I really want to say thanks for the trouble you go too in keeping us well informed with excellent explainations and photos of what you have been doing the whole trip to now.I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

You're a talented man, Rich! And a pretty good teacher, too! Looks like you're shooting single stage paint, right? Looks like a nice gray that doesn't have either too much blue, or too much green. Do you mind sharing the details on the color choice?Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Thank's a lot guys ! I have some health problems slowing me down, but I have had
friends helping out when I need it. I will get it together!
Roger: I looked a long time thru old paint sample books trying to find the gray color I wanted.
It's from a 65 Porsche (slate Gray) which I had to send for a color sample so the local Dupont dealer
could computer match. It is single stage, no metallic, dealer found it also matches 84 Jag. I like single
stage since easy to shoot ,and repair in a home garage.

It is a very classic color. Rminds me of Machinery grey on old delta table saws only darker. Would look great on a old Ford tractor too!"

I wanted to complain about this NZ slang business, but I see it was resolved before it mattered. LOL..
