[Healeys] Interview with assembly line worker

[S and T Miller]

Great article.  I wish there was more detail about how the panels were "wired" to the body. I've always felt the concours cars should be painted as they were at the factory (primer showing in areas, minimal paint coverage areas, etc.).  I realize that for protection purposes most are painted inside and out with full coverage, but correct is correct.  I believe the doors were mounted during painting, and I'd love to know more about how the bonnet and boot were wired to the body, or if they were wired up apart from the body.

I know Geoff Chrysler did a nice job replicating the found undercoating brush strokes on his 100.

I'd love to paint my BN1 as "done at the factory". Maybe it's not known how it was generally done, because I've read for example that some early cars have been found with black frames and white exteriors. And at the end of the day they were in the business of selling cars, and cutting costs.
