Just a quick update. Tonight I dropped off all of the front sheet metal I have actually finished prepping for powder coating. It turned out there was a shop I found good reviews of just a few miles from my house, which was convenient.
Originally I was going to do a gloss black to match the frame, but decided to go with a silver/black hammertone finish. It was the original finish I was planning, and didn’t cost any extra so I decided to go with it.
I should have the panels back in a week and be able to get them in the car. I also spent some more time drilling tonight, and got the passenger floor mostly drilled. I bunged up my center punch, though, and need to go buy another one tomorrow.
