The paint job had two bright spots show up on the rear body. I sanded too deep. It has taken quite a while what with catching Covid and cold weather but it is finally repainted and all looks great. More buffing to do to finish it up. The second photo looks bright but that is just the lighting in the shop. Down by the door it matches.
Next, I have not been happy with the engine. Low oil pressure, over heating, high compression. So the engine is out again and I will have cam bearings installed, hone the cylinders for more clearance and install new rods with shell bearings to better deal with the high compression head. I'm really glad I did this because I found there was some grit in the oil that did some minor damage but it was caught in time. This should all add up to a good running reliable engine that I can drive with confidence.
