67 Mustang
 

Very nice work
Had a friend who had the underside of his Shelby done in
primer like they were back in the day.. it only took two years
and the car is still has no motor or drivetrain in it...

Keep on trucking

Bob

Wow .... very nice!

Are you going to put a top coat over the sound control and/or the thermal barrier?

Michael

Yes SPI red oxide epoxy primer will be the top coat

Nice ... question? Since I sprayed the SPI black epoxy the other day in preps for Lizard Skin I noticed the epoxy is very easily scratched (I have to scotch brite the surface before the sound control anyway) ....are you gonna use the red epoxy as a sealer?

If so what is the formula to make it more durable than just spraying the two part epoxy?

First time w SPI and have been looking to your projects for ideas and tips .. thanks for any help.

Michael

The epoxy wasn't cured is why it scratched. We sprayed the epoxy Friday and did not sand it and sprayed the Lizard Skin yesterday. You have a 7 day window with the epoxy before you would have to sand it.

Thanks for the info ... I will wait a few more days and then apply the Lizard Skin. The weather is a little finicky here and hopefully it will warm up a little and I can spray.

Thanks for answering my questions ... don't mean to be a bother!

Michael

The final two coats of SPI red oxide primer

Wow that looks cool! Question ... did you take into account the clearances for the bolt in stuff, cuz that's a lot of material applied to the surfaces? What about threaded holes?

Now you got me thinking I need to finish with black epoxy ...hmmm?

Michael

so you black epoxied it ,then red epoxy then lizard skin and then red epoxy again? why so many layers?

The body was not ecoated so we sanded it down a long time ago and sprayed black epoxy on the undercarriage. SPI came out with red oxide and that is what the owner wanted so after seam sealing it was sprayed with red oxide. The owner wanted the Lizard Skin and he wanted the undercarriage finished in red oxide.

What do you do to the inside of doors for sound deadening?

Thanks, Joe

We are going to attempt to spray Lizard Skin

You guys are doing great work and fixing this body to be a perfect car.

Thanks Rusty, looking forward to more pictures. I really enjoy you and your sons work.

Looks great. Are those lines nicopp?

I'm not sure the owner did a lot of research and bought the lines. I believe he said Mercedes uses the same lines.

Last week I finished spraying 3 coats of Pro-Spray Acapulco blue and 3 coats of SPI Universal clear. Brian wet sanded with 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 and today started buffing

Beautiful color. Hope to get my primer black '67 back to Acapulco Blue one of these days as well.

Brian has the doors lined up.

I guess nobody noticed but that is not red oxide primer on the dashboard. The interior is going to be red.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...pshxz5ugzo.jpg

I wondered about that! And then just wrote it off as red oxide! LOL --- I really really like the combo!

I painted a few parts and we installed the engine and aod trans today.

lol, count me in as well thinking that was just red oxide. I really dig blood red interiors on a nice blue car. Reminds me of the C4 Grand Sport Corvettes that could have red on the inside.

Keep up the great work!

I once had a '68 6cyl coupe that was blue with red interior, even had a red "C" stripe!

The owner is off work for a few weeks and wants to do some of the assembly on his car. He and Brian installing the headliner insulation.
