Being inside the trunk can make you feel like Jimmy Hoffa. :)

Joel, John said that 51-56 Packards have a 4.7x Hoffa rating on the size scale.

Got all the splash pans, skirts, and visor parts into another coat of high build primer.

Taking photos over to the paint shop today to get a preliminary estimate. If we can agree on a price, then I will have a flatbed some pick up the car this week.

Off to the paint shop!

Finish final blocking, sealer, Base Coat/Clear Coat entire car, jams, firewall above the drip rail, and entire trunk.

The are going to do a spray out for me to approve on the color match before it base is sprayed.

Estimated 2-3 weeks. Lots of other old cars in process there when I did the walk through. Their lead bodyman commented that the prep-work I already did was excellent.

More photos are they progress on it....

For what I am paying to have it painted, she had better come back looking like a work of art!

For the record, paint is expensive! Even more so in Calif.

When their first reaction to the car is "Wow, that's a big car!" you know the bill is going to match.
