Walt & Diane at CCC had a team of elves prepare all the body seams, block the body, align the doors, hood & trunk, round the lips under the dash and behind the seats. Round the inner wheel well lips as well. Spray epoxy gel coating and block to a flat finish, then spray epoxy primer and block to a flat finish, then spray base & clear coat with dual stripe to a show finish. Bake at 140 three different times during priming and painting. Extra dough because of the color. Extra time delay because some of the elves collapsed from heat stroke mid-way through this process (that summer was particularly hot). The result was absolutely gorgeous.
