Rgruppe Monterey or Bust!    

Impossible schedule '73 911 Outlaw

May 18, 16 days post deadline

Painted panels

With the deadline past, the pace of work has slowed down.  The pressure to cut corners is gone, the project can be completed right.

The blue panels have all been prepped and painted.  Everything was shot off the car which made it easy to paint both side of the panels.

Body prep work takes an amazing amount of time.  The metal panels were all in good shape, yet the prep work took days.  Door edges and hinges were stripped to bar metal.  Fiberglass parts all required some cleanup, especially the bumpers.  The rear bumper was modified to accommodate the dual-out RSR muffler.  The stock muffler outlet was filled in.

The bumpers are in sealer, but have not yet been painted orange.

	All panels painted off the car.  Here in sealer.
	Fenders are painted inside and out.  Headlight bucket has been cut out to improve airflow to the fender mounted Widemouth oil cooler.  Fender lip has been rolled.
	All hinges have been stripped and painted.
	Doors are completely stripped of windows and hardware.
	Looks like a meat locker, with blue meat.
	If it walks like a duck....
