Resurrection of the (72) Demon
There are three events of resurrecting a rust heap refugee that are worth celebrating.
FWIW: The Demon was originally a white car with a blue vinyl roof and a bright blue interior. Somewhere along the line it was painted in what looks like a B4 blue (too dark for B3 and too light for B5 ). Whoever did it was thorough as door jambs, underhood, and the underside of the rear deck lid were coated with it.
When I was checking the car, I almost lost my breath :pale: when I saw my beautifully detailed underhood coated with the dust of sanded body filler. I'm showing the sequence of how the underhood area of the Demon has been transformed. The second photo of the sequence was made before I sent the valve covers off to the Mistress of Metal for her tender touch. I replaced them with a pair of black textured stock ones.
The paint is PPG Shopline in 72 Ford J code (Grabber Blue). The flop of the paint is amazing. The only difference is lighting of the photos. All photos, except the empty engine bay, were made with the same digital camera. :glasses8:
