Primer!




Finally primed! I had to get the body primed before the weather gets too cold. Three coats of Dupont 2K on the body, hood, doors, rear valance, deck lid and roof. I also filled some extra holes in the firewall that were not used, but I need to fill some deep scratches on the inner fenders and clean up the area around the parking lights. Now comes the wet sanding with 400 grit and the block sanding.

I am also really doubting that I am qualified to paint this car...way too many complex curves on those fenders and quarter panels. We will see.

Still Stripping


Ok, so I am still stripping paint...but I'm almost finished. We picked up a lot of good parts at Carlisle, including a new windshield, weatherstripping, more stripper (obviously), door handles and more. Now that the doors are off, all I need to do now is finish stripping the paint from the door jambs and then I'm ready to prime it. I can't wait to get started block sanding, because that means I'm closer to painting.
