Looks like some serious shine! Requires a massive amount of work, doesn't it. Now that you think it's nice and shiny it's time for a cut and buff to really get the most out of it. More hard work, but so worth it. Great job Andy.

Oh man, that must be so rewarding having gotten to the point of putting paint down.
Be sure to give us updates when its all reassembled.

Looks great! what did you use for paint? I found that removing that big brown blob in the engine compartment made it a lot easier to get the right angles to get in all the nooks and crannies there.

I used single stage jet black enamel, medium reducer and high gloss activator. First layer was light and a bit splotchy with slightly higher activator so it tacks up and gives the next coat something to hang onto without running. Agreed on the brown blob (didn't feel like pulling the drive train out). What you are doing is amazing in that pic.
