First of all, here's an updated picture of the engine compartment. Not all that different than the last pictures, but with a few more details done, like the power steering reservoir and a battery.

Here is a close-up of the power steering reservoir finished in the correct black and with the decal. Note the correct squarish cap to hold the lid on. This reservoir had a filter element inside it, unlike my Firedome.

I bought 2 replica batteries, one for each DeSoto. This is the Fireflite's, in my home-made bracket.

I had a chance to finish the REAR door panels. They came out every bit as nice as the front ones. I also made the dogleg-shaped upholstery that fits on either side of the rear seat, but haven't painted the vinyl yet.

As you can see from these next pictures, the bodywork is still progressing. I sprayed the left rear quarter panel with the Dove Gray, and have much of the rest of the car in primer (mostly the right side, since I can work more readily there, next to my garage). The left side still needs tons of chips filled.

KEEP WATCHING FOR FUTURE UPDATES!!!
