Well, I finally finished prepping the car for paint. I have a local painter that has agreed to paint my car, so to save money he requested that I strip the paint down to metal. He'll do the minor body work, primer, base-coat, clear-coat. I'm suppose to take it by tomorrow (Sunday), but I'll have wait until the front passes by.
It taken me about 40 hrs to remove all of the paint. I started after work last Thursday, all day Friday (Good friday holiday), Saturday, Sunday and today. This is the only body repair needed. It had about 1/2" of bondo at the deepest. It took me 5 hrs to strip this door. There's also some body work to be done on the rear quarter panel. After stripping I used Ospho to protect the metal, then painted a light coat of etch primer, per the painter's requirements... Here's why it's taken me so long to strip the car, I didn't have a large enough air tank to run the DA, so I strip everything with this electric hand drill with 3M purple sanding discs. For the next teener to be painted, I'm going to buy an electric DA sander.... Here's an in process shot... After spending 10 hrs today finishing the stripping I forgot to take any pictures of the completely naked teener.... I'll take pics before I drop it off at the painters.... BTW, I'm enjoying several nice Black-n-Tan beers today and tomorrow and looking forward to doing NO WORK on the teener tomorrow... -- Rob |

Might as well take those carbs and throw them right in the trash can
YOU KNOW THE ONES I HAVE REBUILT ONCE AND THEN TUNED FOR YOU TWO WEEKS AGO. All that dust is going to make you life miserable. |

Yea, I'm worried about the dust getting into those newly tuned and finely adjusted carbs.... I didn't realize how much dust would get into the engine compartment... I'm going to blow the engine compartment out again, then carefully remove the filters and blow them out also.... Kev, long time no hear.... I'm hoping to have the car back together by the end of this month and I'll schedule another TBB then, hope you can make it... -- Rob |
