Update 1/19
 

Been busy with this and that ... waiting on my SPI epoxy I started body working the trunk and the firewall (apita) and I found out the firewall closeout panel I welded on was warped and I couldn't get it straight so I cut it out and did a smaller patch.

The trunk wasn't so bad but my body work still needs refining as can be seen in the SPI black epoxy ...

So here's some pics for those that like visual aids ...

In between coats just cap the cup and clean the nozzle ... pretty cool!


And I started on the hood mods, found out I needed flexible urethane foam between the skin and the supports to replicate AMD's work so I got that today and then my 3M Accuspray gun came in and I just had to spray ... what I time saver in cleanup and the pps cups are just cool.

Thanks for looking ...

That looks great:drool: I might have to try that gun out.

Nice work Chief, you are Kicking A.. and taking names!

I'm curious what the mods to the hood will be? Did I miss elsewhere in the thread?

Mulligan!
 

Thanks, once you get used to the gun it shoots nice and easy clean up, that's a +++.

Thanks, I'm trying but sometimes my OCD kicks in and I have created more work for myself, lol!!


Well I thought I would be further along with the hood by now but after you spray a black epoxy the poor body work comes out in the shine and you have to keep going to get a flat reflection ....

OCD kicking in ... the black epoxy doesn't lie when it comes to a reflection, so more sanding and epoxy!

Thanks for looking ...

Early morning paint, check that off the list ... now it's time to cure before I can start making another mess, lol!

Man, I can appreciate those REAL body guys and gals that can get a black car straight ... I think this will do for me!

Thanks for looking ...

I have learned a great deal watching Jim do the work on my car. Seeing it in person really helped me appreciate the talent in all those hours of work.

Car is looking great. Always enjoy your thread!

:captain:

Hey thanks, this bodywork is difficult, I redid the trunk 3 times and now the hood 3 times because in black epoxy it shows all the defects of my attempted body work, hopefully, it'll be the last go round!

Not much happened today, I got brushable seam sealer on the cowl and the side tulip panels ... waiting for it to cure and should spray color tomorrow. While that was drying I worked on my hood vent locations before I cut the hood.

And I used a clay bar on the truck cuz all this crap in the air, it's gonna be 67 here tomorrow, nice!

Thanks for looking ...

I could paint a car white and still there would be waves, accept I'm so bad they are white caps! Nice work Chief.

Wayne that's too funny :waveflag: :thankyou:
