1953 AMT Studebaker restoration

I didn’t forget about this one...but we had a straight two weeks here of above-helpful humidity that stopped me getting the clear laid down on the repainted body.  Only 45% moisture in the air today though, so I managed to shoot some enamel on this thing - let it sit a couple of hours and I’m pretty pleased with how the clear is setting up!

The body is all that’s holding this one up now, so I’ll give it a few days to set up nice and hard and give it a polish and redo all that foiling that I didn’t enjoy the first time and don’t want to do again ?

More soon, soon as I’ve done more!

Gave this one a week or so to dry and gave it a polish this morning - that Donn Yost paint method really does work well!

Still some polishing to do, but this is just the cloths on the roof and a little Meguiars in a couple of tricky to reach spots - no wax or anything yet.

And a vid, because I was pleased with it! ?

Next job is the foil (again)...didn’t enjoy that the FIRST time ?.  More soon, soon as I’ve motivated myself here ??
