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

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.

Frizzle Fry · 08-25-2015, 11:33 PM

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.

More updates from Karl:
A few areas on the undersides of the Hood (Bonnet) and Truck (Boot) lids where some very small picking could be seen --> No longer.

Drip Rail Seam Sealer:

The rails looked straight enough to me, but that's why I'm not a bodyman:

So Mike, when will I be able to come to Hillsburrito and take a spin?

ajgriffin · 08-29-2015, 01:35 AM

Nagaro Blue! Looking good!

Sub-versive · 08-30-2015, 05:33 PM

Wow! That is purdy!

You are going to be afraid to drive it, and mess up that paint job.

mcbassin · 08-31-2015, 07:58 AM

Looks great! glad to see some color finally going down on this puppy. Congrats

ERASER5 · 08-31-2015, 08:40 AM

Put on your white jumpsuit, swivel your hips and sing along... I'll have a blue Sunbeam by Christmas....

Notice that no one calls it a clown car anymore?

Your unique perspective never ceases to amaze

Frizzle Fry · 09-02-2015, 01:25 PM

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:

mcbassin · 09-02-2015, 01:43 PM

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

He's taking it way beyond my expectations, I have to admit. But once you get shiny paint on there are those little things reveal themselves.

So I guess the door shells weren't to his satisfaction and he did another round of sanding and primer on them:

Cowl needed a little love apparently:

Driprails good to go:

Doors in final blocking (I asked him to do one final block on the whole exterior)

knomadd · 09-04-2015, 12:23 PM

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

It sure is going to look good though.

Low Elco · 09-04-2015, 12:36 PM

Karl is the bomb-diggity! Nice stuff!
