Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Thanks guys. This past year has been such a waiting game, though I've been investing my labor and learning what it takes to make something straight that was never intended to be. I definitely have a greater appreciation for what it takes to get a car ready for paint without just frosting filler/glazing over every square inch.
Final touches wrap up at Bruce's this week followed by the move to SoCalNW next week! Posted via Mobile Device |

This car is so cool! Just gets better and better.
I just love shops that get after it and take care of business.

Thanks Zoomin. I gotta agree after the slow-leak, although high quality, bodywork saga it's nice to see them getting at it!

Ah, Tualatin.... I miss that area. Looks like they're taking care of things pretty quickly. I hope they keep at it.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Yes sir! They are in Tualatin (southwest of Portland). West of I-5, off of Tualatin-Sherwood Road. It's called So-Cal Northwest. They had just opened up before I left that area back in 2007.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
That's right Knomadd. Though they are located in Tualatin Autobody, So-Cal Northwest Speed Shop is an independent entity. They don't have much of a website or facebook page, but my understanding is that they do all the paint for Rothsport Racing.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
No detailed overlooked by Karl
These screw holes were used for the on-door seals which used to run the whole perimeter of the doors. Now that I'm running door aperature seals and the on-door seals only around the window frames these are no longer needed: ![]() ![]() Sorted: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Those little details are insane! The paint is going to be sick on this thing. Love all the attention to detail!

That's going to be so flat!!! I'd be afraid to take it anywhere for fear even a gust of wind might put a wave in it
