Jeff.... please report back to us all, what the actual cause was for the 'rippling'. (adhesion... layers and drying times etc etc) Maybe it'll stop other from running into the same problems while DIYiing.

I've got happy news to report. My painter is apparently a man of real character. I took the car by to show him the problem, and also pointed out some other areas that I wasn't pleased with, including a couple of spots that I screwed up during assembly, and he's promised to take care of everything to my satisfaction at no charge. He also is going to weld up a stress crack in the rear valance that his body man missed during the prep, which of course will require him to repaint the whole thing. I was really, REALLY impressed by his attitude and his willingness to make everything right. I had Mrs. Jones up to about 75 MPH on the freeway with the O/D doing its thing and was very pleased with the ride and handling. No shimmies, minimal vibration, etc. It was really a joy to be out there driving on such a beautiful day like this. All's well that ends well. Take care, Jeff in San Diego 1968 Spitfire Mk3 aka "Mrs. Jones" Back on the streets 3/17/03...
