Good luck.

I found a local hotrod shop that was looking for work.
He painted all the parts, I put it all back together.
I slight tap with a 5 lb hammer in several spots got me back on track with the tub....just a little area that got pushed in from the bumper.


For the 914, as I crawl along at a snails pace...
I am wondering if any rattle can primer could be used as the base to cover up my work for some time.
With the plan to go over everything with real primer from a spray gun later (much later) and then high build, sealer etc etc.

Any experience with a specific brand of rattle can that works?

PPG sells one at the paint store, but I thought all rattle can primer is made up of the wrong materials...

A little off topic but I have used self etching in a can when I had a spot or two that I did not want to mix up and spot in to save gun cleanup. That could work . You could always sand it off when your ready to move onto a 2K or something.

Finally took some time and rented a booth to shoot the shell and doors for Sandy's car. Loooooong way to go yet but at least I don't have to sit and look at this car in primer any longer. This is right out of the booth.

Crappy smart phone camera. My son Aric and I tag teamed it Friday night and painted it in memory of my Best friend and brother in-law that we lost to cancer on Thursday. Dave and his son Dave Jr. would have been right there with us. Davey stopped by to check on us but couldn't stay for obvious reasons.

So here's to David! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) We stood shoulder to shoulder working on cars and family. We'll miss you.

This picture highlights the reason I prefer painted sails. There is a graceful sculpting where the kicked up fender meets the end of the sail that is lost when the vinyl and shiny trim is added.

Great color!

To be honest, I didn't even notice that cool curve when there is no sail vinyl.

I was going to post a question about whether I should add the vinyl or leave it as is. I guess I got my answer. Glad you all like it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/assimilate.gif) Wait until you see the stripe... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Sorry to hear of your loss, Rick. I am certain that your nephew still has a great role model, even though he no longer has his dad.

I think sail vinyl depends a lot on the color of the car. I like it present more often than not, especially when the roof is on. But this color has me undecided. I think it will look great either way.

Tail lights are in and working, headlight motors and lifts are in, windshield is in.

My son Aric is going to continue working on the car while I'm in Toronto.
