 THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT THREAD -- JUST A STATEMENT OF FRUSTRATION
 I had no clue that there were so many separate pieces to paint on a full fendered '31 Model A roadster until it came time to prime this beast. There are by rough count, 26+ pieces that are in need of individual attention. Since very few are straight, flat or easy to hold, individual items need painting frames. This for a pro body shop might not present a problem, but in my 2 car garage, though it is a larger '70s vintage, it fills it up and leaves little room to maneuver. A partial listing of these indiviual parts:
 
 Body - stripped
 Hood - 4 pieces
 Doors - 2
 Door hinges - 4
 Dash
 Trunk lid
 Fenders - 4
 Splash shields - 2
 Running boards - 2
 '32 Grille shell
 '32 Gas tank
 Frame horn covers - 2
 Body belt(holds back of cowl cover down)
 Cowl cover
 Steering column
 
 Makes me almost wish for something simple - say a Mustang or Camaro.
 
 These are some of my frames - glad I have a couple of woodworking tools:Dave
