July's accomplishments NEXT - My Trip to Southern Ontario
The Amazon was painted, starting with the "jams", which included the engine
compartment, interior, trunk and door jams. The wheels were installed
and the car was rolled into the paint booth for the roof paint - 65 Beige/Gray.
Two days later, the 46 Red was painted over a dark gray base coat,
2 coats of red, followed by 2 clear coats. On July 1st, Canada
Day, I began the arduous task of reassembling my Amazon. Previously
I had rebuilt the window tracks with new window channel, so the doors were
assembled as new as possible. This week all other parts; engine, dash,
interior, lights and bumpers were installed at Fix Auto Collision. I
drove the car home on July 5th, completing the final assembly at home. I
took the Amazon back to the shop the following week, to install the new
headliner, wind lace and fender emblems. Fix Auto also touched up
any imperfections and painted the inside wheel wells, then I installed
the mud flaps. The following chronicles these activities.
