Default ‘63 Chevy II Pro-Touring Build

Finally was able to make a trip to WI today to see, first hand, progress on the Nova... been a long time - almost six weeks!

Last week, Kurt sent me some pictures of the Nova... he was able to get the interior primed and painted (just floors and other areas of the interior that won’t be visible when the car is finished).

He also was able to get the underside of the car finished in Upol...

Drove over to WI today and was surprised to see that he had the car painted and was well into wet sanding... looked great! Color is stealthy for sure... as always with paint, pics don’t really do it justice. Appears a little darker in pictures than it actually is. Hope to be done with wet sanding and buffing early next week, then can start assembly... been a long time coming [emoji16]

After wet sanding and buffing, inner fenders, firewall, core support, etc will be sprayed a satin black. Then exterior trim, bumpers, etc all painted carbon black metallic. Interior will be sprayed later, likely a darker charcoal gray metallic. I’m really excited to see the progress and can’t wait for the final assembly to start!
