I'll get you some of the good stuff!!! :_paranoid

Oh and let's see some updates please??? :flashie:

My friend swears by the Evercoat featherfill polyester primer. Since it is a polyester, its intended to dry and shrink one time and its done. He's been spraying for about 2 years now and i haven't heard anything bad come back yet.

We have been using Evercoat Quantum1 filler and their Super Build 4:1 polyester primer with great success. We apply them over an epoxy primer over bare steel.

Both of those products are easy to apply and sand, and they pass the 500 salt spray test, so they are excellent corrosion inhibitors as well.

We have not had any shrinking issues with these.

If you're inclined, here are some videos that cover our bodywork and paint process:

Thanx Kevin!
I saw your video that's why I ask. In the past I used a similar product and I swore I would never use it again . I can't recall the name that's how long its been since I last used it. But it was a disaster!!

Some of the older fillers and non catalyzed products were bad on shrinking. Especially if you topcoated them quickly... in a production shop, you might spray the poly filler in the morning and paint / clear in the afternoon. That can be a recipe for sanding scratches to come back later, as the poly did not have time to cure. We've been burned before, too.

Great job on the paint/body and very informative. Thanks!

I changed to the quantum filler earlier this year and like it even better than the extreme I was using. Plus it is cheaper in the end since we almost never need putty filler anymore. I have not used their superbuild filler. I used to use the slick sand but got away from that and went back to rust defender and have been using urethane high build for final sanding.

Fantastic build, progress pics, and dig the driveline upgrade!
Can't wait to see this one completed.

I'm not sure if you are aware; however Lingenfelter now offers a blower snout to run the larger 2300 series blower on the LSA motor. Maybe something to look into :unibrow:

Things continue to progress. After some trial fitting of the grille and passing one of Kelle's tough quality control scans, Nathan applied the Evercoat Super Build 4:1 polyester primer and guide coat.

If you look at the third and forth pictures fast they look like drawings instead of photos. I drool every time I see that hood! Nice progress guy's and Kelle.
