[Healeys] Painting and fitting body panels

[Rich C]

Tom,

Yes, the outer panels are completely painted and finished off the car, then 
very carefully final assembled to the car.

I should point out that if the car is to be two toned, the lower portion of 
the panels are painted off the car, the panels are temporarily assembled to 
the car, the tape line is established, then the panels are removed, the 
balance of the lower portion is completely taped off and the uper portions 
are painted, again, individually off the car.
