Thanks for the compliment!

Yes, I did that entirely myself. In fact, I even did that paint job. The car had been finished for several years. One day, I had it parked in the driveway at my last house. A contractor was on the roof over the garage trying to locate a leak. He slipped, fell off and landed on the hood/cowl/windshield of the Midget.

I have a friend who's an outstanding painter and he convinced me that he could teach me body work and paint, so I could fix the damage to the Midget myself. I took a few weeks of vacation (five), and under his close supervision, stripped, straightened, blocked, painted, wet sanded and buffed the entire car, to include engine compartment, jambs, and wheel wells! I now have the ultimate respect for body men. It's hard work. The Midget was the perfect car to learn on because it's so small.

I said I'd never paint another car, but I'm going to paint my current 912 project myself, at home. I never learn.
