@OCCoupe is always telling me to not use my cars as a workbench. So I have listened and now I am using a Ferrari. Belt trim was sprayed with CeraKote today.

Hi Chris, it is the best Idea, with clear CERAKOTE it always stay shiny it will take 1 full day to dry, my first time I over spray and it crack up after a week or two, I had to clean up an re spray, and I also spray my wheels, if your wheels are chrome you can spray CERAKOTE

When I had my '69 E-Type Roadster I used the lonnnnng hood for a workbench all the time. They shouldn't have designed the hood so long if they didn't want us to use it that way!

OK, I'll bite. Who's 365 GTC/4 is that? As the owner of C4 registry, I'd like the serial number and owner's name please.

Guess I fooled the expert! It is Cain’s 85 400i that he bought a few months ago. We just spent 3 days on twisty Central Coast roads.

Belt trim is on, quite a milestone. Driver side of rear bumper as well so ignore the sag. Now I can install headlight buckets, kidney and h/l grilles and rear window assemblies. I am making better progress than I expected but headliner and wiring will be much slower going. I had paint mixed to match elephant skin vinyl and I will use it on the wheel arch covers and floor boards. Don’t tell Mike I have stuff on the roof, the Ferrari wasn’t available.

Man, those bumpers are shiny!

These guys think they can repair my clock as I described the problem from the guy who took it apart. Under $200.

I'm sure this meets your full approval: The wheel wells are the same color as the body....

Looks great and so very clean without the running side markers.

$168, but I knew what the issue was, they don’t swap quartz movements.
