Sorting Photos
The client gave me about 500 photos that I had to sift through and organize into different catagories.
I spent three years of my time in college working part-time at the auto shop that undertook the restoration of this car. As a shop assistant, my responsibilities primarily revolved around cleaning, organizing, and retrieving parts. This hands-on involvement enabled me to easily recognize and categorize the various images.
Chapter Dividers
I divided the book into 5 chapters:
Body & Paint
Interior
Engine Bay
Undercarriage
Complete
