904-068
March 25, 2005
A common
problem with any 904 is the brass inserts that retain the
screws that hold the headlight covers on. After the first
cross thread or crash, these tiny little 3mm inserts are history.
To make your 904 right, you must replace these inserts. After
all the bodywork is finished and the measured height (where
headlight cover sits) is correct, we finalize the buckets
before the final satin black. The inserts are installed after
the first primer, then painted over with the final coat.
068 was
in fact, at Gunnar Racing before 090 (even though we're late
on both of them), therefore 068 gets final paint first. Now
she's on the way to the booth.
All the
final paints are applied in the paint booth. Here, the final
satin is applied in the headlight buckets. These will be masked
off tomorrow and I will start the final block sand for primer,
then paint. After this car is painted silver, 090 will take
its place for its final coats.
