All,

2511 is now fully repaired, primered, filled, primered and then primered again, with multiple blocking and sanding sessions along the way. So last week I visited 2511 at Denny‘s shop up in Woodburn for an on-site inspection prior to paint.

I am quite pleased with the panel fit, uniformity of gaps, some subtle custom touches and body lines. 

Each panel was wetted down with wax remover in a final inspection for flaws. Denny, his painter Oscar and I spent at least an hour and while Denny’s eye caught a couple, all I saw was a reborn 2511. 

Doors and decklids will now be removed so their back sides and the chassis jambs can be masked off and painted.

The car is then fully reassembled so all exterior panels are painted as a single unit. 

Cut and polish and then finished off with satin black on rockers and lower front valance. 

Here’s a shot of Denny sighting in the RH fender... and one of the rear decklid
