Pretty. Just like a factory “body in white” ready to be customized.
Very nice indeed.

It does.. Though I know where more body work needs to be done it makes me feel better that the metal is protected from the humidity

Are you going to spray high build/surfacer before you leave it to shrink? I think PPG says you can cover it without sanding within 10, after which you have to sand. I was thinking on mine I could spray epoxy, then follow with surfacer, then relax, let it shrink, and take my time blocking. But I don't know if that really makes sense.

Brent,

Probably hold off for now. There is still extensive body work to do with the flares, welding in pin holes, etc.

I will do the bedliner in certain areas and underneath so I can mount the suspension.. Then next winter do more body work..

Let’s not forget some parts you’ve brought to production.

Yeah, that's great to be at that point in the project! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

Ben, I'm interested to know the details of your paint setup, compressor, gun, etc. I'm contemplating doing my own paint eventually as well (probably year or two away) and trying to get a handle on what I'm going to need. It would be nice to avoid buying an insanely huge compressor just to paint one car. From what I've read, 80 gal, 5HP is recommended for non-stop spraying a typical car, but it seems easy with our cars to break it up into smaller sections and get away with a smaller compressor.

You can also rent a compressor if you're thinking its a one shot deal.

Getting it in primer always makes a project look closer to finished!

I have a 10 year old 60 gal 5hp sanborn compressor, a Sata hvlp gun along with an old binks hvlp gun. Painted 6 or 7 cars with this setup.

Works well.

Ben, I don’t think you get to sleep between this project, your son’s car, your great parts, and work. I’m sure it’s great seeing the chassis finally in primer!

Yes sort of a balancing act..

As part of my full time job we have 4- 1 week dictated vacations per year and this week was one of them and you can see I made progress. Things won't happen as fast but expect bed liner within the week but have allot of other things to get done..

I really need to finish the engine and get it running on a stand.. Want to do a little muffler testing as well.
