The Wimbledon White paint is finished and all pieces are hung back on the uni-body. 

Need to check alignment of all pieces prior to taping off the LeMans stripes.  Note, that the side stripes will be masked off and painted on.

A lot of time was spent making sure the headlight buckets fit the fenders "perfectly".

The trunk lid weather stripping was applied prior to masking off the stripes to make sure the alignment and fit was correct.  You do not wish to do this after the fact!!!

 

The engine compartment was sprayed "semi-gloss" black.  Please, note the underside of the hood is white, although black as per MCA judging is also permitted.

The dash and doors are also paint black.

Before hanging the fenders the pinch weld molding underneath the car was also painted black, Ford did this on all of the light colored cars to make the pinch weld "disappear".
