Tyson did an awesome job at aligning all the body panels. The previous bodywork and paint on the main body was not as precise as I wanted it and Tyson also fixed up this as well. The previous paint was sanded back and started again. As many know these simple cars have very important body lines and if not perfect do not do the car justice, so many hours were spent to correct issues from the last time.

After many hours of sanding and prepping, the car finally got its color back. Now the whole car is painted including the roof, doors and 1/4 window frames.
