UPDATE 3: STARLINER.......Two More long days PAY OFF!!!
Alex and I spent this weekend at his shop working on the Starliner. Lace paint jobs suck ass! We have about 15 or more hours just in the last two days getting the two long top panels ready to spray....But damn, it's going to be worth it! I think lace panels is a four man job, but it works with two.
Here's where we started yesterday.  We started on the passenger rear 1/4.  We rough cut the panel shape in the lace.  This lace. Which is different from what the top and the hood center and trunk will be.  Alex is getting pretty good with the scissors.  After it was trimmed and taped down. A TON of time was spent just getting the pattern to line up straight.  Both rear 1/4s taped.  Alex's cool idea for the gaps. More later.  My idea: use clear double stick tape near the edge on the more difficult areas. It actually worked great!  Then we taped over it with masking tape.

Re: UPDATE 3: STARLINER.......Two More long days PAY OFF!!!
Alex does the second side. He took welding rod and bent it to shape to hold the lace down in the gaps. It worked really well. Low-buck ingenuity at it's finest.
       Taa-Daa!  Panels ready for launch!

The meistro begins.
   The payoff!   Sweet panels! Next comes an all-over coat of candy on the panels and some edge fading.  Check the gaps. The lace wraps around the lip!
