I sprayed the Ford with clear, sanded and polished it. Shortly after, I masked and sprayed the window trim and running boards then followed that with bare metal foil. While I had the foil out, I finished the window trim on the 66 Chevelle.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the 66 Chevelle, I managed to find the kit&#8217;s steering column. The kits column is much shorter than the one I found and used. I painted the column and later pulled apart the interior to swap in the correct column where I almost destroyed the steering wheel in the process!\u00a0The frame and headliner were also masked and sprayed.<\/p>\n<p>Round 2 of the chassis work for the 34 Ford was more successful. I masked and sprayed what I didn&#8217;t want in gloss black.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of the month, I found time and motivation to make excellent progress on a few builds.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div
