I got the floors and engine bay epoxied and sealed. I'm being very thorough with the seam sealer but I'm making sure not to use too much and not to glob it on there. I will shoot a second coat of epoxy in the morning and then these areas will be done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Great stuff going on here, nice one!

Are you sanding down each coat of epoxy so the next layer can key to it?..or is it working without?

For the epoxy primer, I sand the surface with 80 grit and then apply the epoxy. You can re-coat the epoxy up to a week without having to sand per the tech sheet. So when the car goes in for final paint, everything will have to be scuffed up again.

I should also add that the primers I am using are from Southern Polyurethanes.

UPDATE: I've been getting a lot of work done. I started by prepping the driver's side, hitting it with some epoxy primer, seam sealer, body filler, high build primer and block sanding. That side is pretty much done, just needs final sanding. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The cowl area also got done.

I also used Eastwood's Internal Frame Coating in all the cavities possible.

What's left to do: Passenger side fenders and final sanding. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Well the body is pretty much done as far as I'm concerned. I gave it two coats of epoxy primer/sealer and gave it a wet sand. Bodywork came out great. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t2.gif)

I used water when taking these shots. The epoxy is NOT that glossy.

Thanks! I'm pretty much done with my part on the car. Just some small touchup/cleanup here and there. Chris is going to pick the car up in a few weeks and will take it to a body shop and have it prepped and painted.

Hopefully I will now have spare time to work on my own car... it needs a little lovin. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grouphug.gif)

Well Chris came and picked the car up today. He liked it, he paid for it, he loaded it up, and he took it home. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Before he left I let him take my car through its paces as a little motivation. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Now I need to know what to do with all the empty space. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Me too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Its the only trailer I have that the car fit in with the rotiss.

The car looks great. Doug did an amazing job! I certainly couldn't have done even close to the same job (to busy, would have been in too big of a rush to finish).
Hoping to have it wearing color soon, then we really get to see how it turned out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

AND WE HAVE COLOR!!!!!! Woohooooooo (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Three years just about to the day to get to this moment. I am so excited, should have it back mid next week. Already have the suspension bits at the powder coater. New shocks, bearings and misc suspension bits on order.......should be a rolling chassis soon. Can't wait to dive in. First thing to go on are the big ass black bumpers! I know, not the prettiest but they are original and in really nice shape and taking up a lot of room in my storage shed. Already scrubbed them down, a little back to black for effect and on they'll go!

Thanks, it really does. Doug did a fine job. The fenders and door look amazing as does the pan and underside of the car. His cutting and welding in work was top notch. The body shop found a small area of work that needed attention on the hood and decklid, nothing major. Its a lot of acreage of relatively flat surface and was barely noticeable by touch let alone by eye, but this guy knew what to feel for. Can't really complain. Doug was great to work with, chronicled everything here (which I've saved to flash disk for future proof of work done) and did a waaaay better job than I could have ever thought to do. And was reasonably priced to boot, happy all around.
