Block and prime this week, really moving closer to final respray. Time for this to cure and another once over before color. The progression is unbelievable, loving the work from Chris and his team and the extra effort going into the car.

Been a huge few weeks by the lads at ck with final prep completed and color laid down. Really happy with how the fjord blue has come up. Hanging panels back on then off for mechanical overhaul in the next few weeks.

Very, very nice.

Interesting to see how Fjord looks so different from picture to picture; angles, lighting; it all affects how blue or grey it looks.
That’s right Erik- the spray booth lights really highlight the grey, but under normal lighting more blue comes through. Such an interesting color.

Definitely due for an update on the project- plenty happening since the last post, couple of photos out in the sun and a lot of new or refurbished parts ready to start the re-assembly
