Ok body guys...here's the game plan

Finally an update

FINALLY AN UPDATE

I have been working over alot, but was off today, I finally finished the mudwork on my quarters and got to spray on some polyester primer (Slicksand), on the back half of the car I was real pleased with how everything looked while the primer was wet, found a couple of dings I missed but nothing major. I am so stoked, I know this is no big deal to the pro bodymen out there, but doing this myself I took my time and was worried how it was gonna turn out....but the lines are razor sharp, I cant wait to start blocking it to get it even straighter.
Well anyways here are some pics.

Jason,
We have had an unusually cold winter that has chased me out of the shop...I am dying to get going, just collecting parts lately...Your baby is looking good!

As soon as I get some work accomplished I will post pictures.

Where's the warm weather?
Cheers!

Like the one guy said it don't matter where you paint the car its the prep that counts. My Charger had all of its body work done and was painted right where it sets now. One important thing if you use polyurethane products. Do not wet the floor, polyurethane absorbs moisture and a wet floor will cause it to wrinkle.
Clean up good then let the dust settle a couple hours before you tack and paint. Remember don't tug on superman's cape, don't try to take the mask off the lone ranger, don't pee in to the wind and dust settles down, it don't settle up.

Sweet Charger Patrick! I haven't done alot to the 69 lately, but last month I got me a 73 Rallye, 360/4 speed, I have been playing with that car since I got it. Gonna get back to work on the 69 soon, though.

Very Nice work!

I've got about 18 months or so before mine will be that far along....

Long awaited update!!!!

I only really work on the 69 during later part of the year (usually no overtime, etc.) I have been off work the last couple of days and decided to work my fenders. My right fender on my 69 was rough. It was rust free, but looked like it fell off jack stands or something (both lower front and rear wheel wells were curl back). The fender was also covered in dings/dents, and the center body line was pretty much non-exsitant. I wanted to just buy a new AMD fender but 600+shipping was NOT in the budget. Some dolly-hammer work and some filler here's what I ended up with (just finished it up yesterday).........

Its coated in Polyester Primer now ready for block-sanding. I almost have my left fender, doors and decklid ready for polyester primer. When they are primed, Im gonna reinstall and align all panels, and start block sanding.

Looks great! keep us posted.

Got the body work finished on my left fender done yesterday, and got the first coat of polyester primer on it. All I like is my decklid, its in pretty good shape, a couple of small dings, thats about it. Then Im gonna bolt everything together, and start blocking. Since I had to do so much work to the fenders and quarters, I will probably go another round with the polyester, before going on to my 2k Urethane primer.

Here's a pic of the left fender...

Update

Its been a while since I updated, I haven't done alot the last couple of months, but have block sanded the second round of polyester primer. Already sprayed/blocked first coat of Urethane primer on hood and decklid. Now I got the body back together and lined up to spray the whole car in a coat of urethane primer. Im off work the next couple of weeks so maybe I can get some work done! Looks like I finally get this thing painted some time soon!

Later,
Jason
