First paint on the panels
And the shell rubbed down ready for paint.
And masked up all around
Edges first to ensure good coverage
Then final rub down.
And a clean after polishing and unmasking

Thanks Dave.

Not normally a 356 fan Jon but have to say that looks fab, especially the colour and signature touches! Top work.

Thanks Peter, don't see you on here so often these days. Hope the hospital visit isn't serious.
Cheers

Fantastic restoration, love the handmade panels, this separates the true restorers from crash repair guys who just buy everything.
Well done mate

Re: 1960 356B Restoration
Just WOW.
Fantastic work guys and very inspirational for my build, after reading this thread I now have a better understanding of the quality of work I should be expecting for my 356.
Are you guys taking on any work?
