Yup... Happy Birthday... At least it’s closer to getting back on the road than it’s been for the past 30 plus years...
Just read your thread. Great story and car. Looking forward to following your progress & seeing it come together.....Jim
It's **** like this that drives me not to paint. I suck at it, and like you claimed, good (or bad) enough to mimic crappy OE painting of undercarriage and undercoating. God forbid I try to paint something like the body of a car - that's where I turn to my buddy @eldubb440 !Thanks! After all these years I'm starting to get excited again....
But as has been typical with this project, one step forward & one step back...
Yesterday the doors were sprayed, since I didn't want to chance anything getting in the fresh paint I rolled down the door & went home...
Today I walked in to see one of the last flies of the year had landed in the fresh paint... Did he land in the jamb area? No.. The bottom area? Nope!! How about the area the the big Coronet R/T badge will hide?? Not a chance! Right smack dab in the middle of the most exposed area....
So today I re-sanded the inside of the door & re-sprayed it.... And before I rolled to door down another fly landed in the fresh paint about 1.5" away from where I had sanded his buddy out.....
I should be having a drink about now but I'm gonna settle for a Pepsi...
I'll have better photos tomorrow, I went down this afternoon planning to un-tape it & roll it outside for pictures but while I could have un taped it I decided it was still to fresh & I'll do it tomorrow... So I shot these two photos & locked up the shop...View attachment 856473View attachment 856474
