Whitey - 1975 Spitfire Specific Tasks and Procedures |

|
| Well it was a slow process (weather permitting) but Whitey's initial paint work was done in sections. Each area was masked, sanded, primered, and painted as the various areas of the vehicle were restored. The engine compartment, bonnet, doors, rear deck, rear end, and undercarrage were all treated as seperate paint projects. The final painting and clear coat will all be performed at once. | |
|
The original rear bumper had a nice crease in the middle. Both the base bumper and the large outer overrider were bent. You've gotta' love EBay. A VERY nice 'original' (real oem not aftermarket flimsy rechromed crap) rear bumper at 1/3 the cost, was acquired with all all mounts and overriders included. Very clean and shiny. Very lucky. |
|
The front bumper was the same story. The old one had the usual worn out chrome from the water running off the bonnet just to the outside edges of the overriders. EBay to the rescue again. This bumper was even cleaner and nicer than the rear. |
