I'm willing to watch Scott hit himself in the head with a hammer.

The last car I painted outdoors turned out great, but I did have a few choice words to say about one gnat in particular. I was under a carport and started early in the morning in hopes of avoiding bugs and breezes, but... along comes a giant gnat, lands right in the middle of the hood in the wet paint. Of course then they get stuck and struggle for their lives... it writhed and flapped and rolled and... Doh! I picked part of it out, but it left a track. Fortunately it buffed out pretty good.

skline, i hope you do a fantastic job on this paintjob. I was just wondering about painting it outside, but it seems you have it taken care of. I would seriously like to learn how to do this.

Ok, Second day of working on the car and its not even noon yet. I got the car pretty much stripped of bolt on stuff. Found rust in some places I didnt expect but should have and no rust where I thought there would be. So good and bad. It will all need to be fixed. I am open to suggestions on the rust repair that needs to be done in the front trunk gutter. Pics to follow. Here is the nose, I still have to remove the fogs and horns.

Rear trunk, you can hardly tell but the back lip is not as it should be, I have pulled it out a little but it still needs more. I have a new deck lid for it and it must fit right.

I am going to weld in the holes on the sail panel, for those of you who wish to do this and dont have a welder, you can also use a propane torch and some lead or silver solder. I would not use bondo as it can shrink and leave marks. Welding is the best bet.

I did that on the one before and had to go back after I got it all done and paint there. What a pain that was. I have not decided if I am going to drop the motor or not, if you want to come help me remove it and reinstall it when I am done, then sure. Actually, I am only going to do primer before the WCC so no, but when I get ready to do the color I will pull the engine. Might as well. Plus I have some welding to do in there to repair the engine shelf.


Lunch break and then back to stripping paint. With any luck I will have it all stripped today.
