ok, it warmed up today to around 60 degrees...
so I did what everyone would do...got out the spray gun and shot some primer.
I needed to get a guide coat on so I can blend in the flairs better.
you don't need much if you are not going to shoot the trunks....
Full Version: warm day here in Maryland...
and another....

Man, there's this new invention called masking tape. Try it. 
He will figure it out when he has to spend 3 or more days trying to get the paint off the windows and trim. 
Dont ask me how I know.

That is one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen.
Razor blades, 0000 steel wool, lacquer thinner.
Tape is easier.

Yeah, we are a tough crowd.
Some of us spray self etching catalyzed prier like Dupont Variprime as a first layer and the primer surfacer as the second layer.
The Variprime forms a hard waterproof seal and the primer surfacer forms a porous sandable surface for minor imperfections.

I would spend more time with it if the car were more of a show car...
I might just drive it with the primer look... nothing better than flat tan or flat black...
I save my energy for the motor....going to put it up on the stand today to raise the compression and install the full flow oil system....
that's where it's at...going for 200 baby... got over 150 with low compression and no exhaust.... should be fun.... got to get this back on the road.... spring is coming...

Just don't be too surprized when it gets wet and rust speckles start appearing.
oh yea, car doesn't see rain....
sits inside nice warm garage until the clouds float over...
It has enough rubber underneath that the road salt doesn't bother it either...
