Nice work, I've painted a couple of Continentals in the distant past, one in Regal red, and the other in Old English white, both cars were imported from New York, by a local to me RR/Bentley dealer, and ended up sitting in a RR dealership showroom for about 2 years! iirc both cars ended back in California in the mid 90's
Panel work looks great, but its as much to do about how it feels, shut lines, door gaps etc, thats the difficult bit!
Where are you based?

I'm in north Devon, work here

Spend the last week sanding it down getting to feel nice to the hand. The door shuts were set to a unform gap the whole way round, hopefull when it's painted they will only need high build primer then paint, no filler

Was the body formed over a Buck, or were the panels replaced one by one?

We got it with just the inner tub. The roof and bonnet was wheeled up by eye. Then the wings and doors we beaten and wheeled over solid bucks.
