That is an awesome shop, if I had facilities like that, I might go into the restoration business. Business has been so slow the last month I have had plenty of time to work on the cars. Tuesday I go in for my Longshore processing. With any luck, I will be a casual this time next week.

Yup, thats the job. I just need to put in about 1500 hours of it and then go to regular status. You have to start somewhere. I should have done this 20 years ago.

Ok, time to update this I guess. Its about 2 in the afternoon and I needed to primer the car to see where it still needs work. So here are shots of it drying in the driveway. I only shot the bottom since I am not done sanding the top yet. Lots to do and its 85 in the garage. What a bitchen day.

Minor update, been working on the car off and on between helping others. Today I have been working on it and sanding and shooting primer. I replaced the drivers door with a spare I had in the garage. Stripped the paint off and to my surprise, not one speck of bondo anywhere. I sanded it and rubbed it all over looking for dings or dents. Found one but I cant see it. Shot some primer on the door figuring it would show up then. Cant find it. Cant see it, cant feel it with a bare hand but if you rub it with a cloth you can feel it. I will screw with it later. For now it is good enough. Here is a picture of the new door installed. Now I just need to install all the insides. It was a bare door. Fun

Scott,
Maybe you mentioned it already but are you going to shoot both of your cars before the WCC05? Many years ago I sprayed my cars both in booths and in my dad's garage. It's a real pleasure to peal off the paper and tape after it's dry. My little piece of advise: Don't rush it in the end or it may screw up all the time you spent in the prep. |

Not a chance in the world of getting both cars painted by the WCC. Just primer for now. I will paint them this summer hopefully. The bodies are not good enough for me to shoot color on yet so primer will have to do for now. At least they will be all one color and even match for now.
