Here are a few photos of my 1963 1071 Hooper which I've just sprayed a couple of weeks ago and now starting to rebuild her, engine has already been built and next job is to start fitting it all up, i'll post more photos soon.

Lovely paint job!

Perfect job

Hi Brian

Looking really great Brian! Fantastic car!

Tim

Look forward to seeing this one done Bri!

Great job, get that grill surround in black ASAP

Well said Mark, a fellow member of the 'Black Surrounds Matter' campaign. Matt black mind, not the shiny stuff!

The black paint on the front panel i thought never came out until about 65 i may be wrong does anyone know this date , also had a call today about the door light switches which were never fitted until later on but this was done by Hooper and is on the invoice also the brackets on the dash panel are for holding the wooden dash i will put some photos up when i put the dash in.

My very early 1071 certainly had a black painted grille surround.

I will paint it black then cheers Mark.
