Tony's car "Karma" has arrived

[comp-spec]

A little more patience

I just talked with Nick about the last part of Karma. We are going to
show what it takes to go from prep to paint as far as sanding ( show the different grit paper used to get ready for paint and the basic steps).
Then show a little about prepping the gun, mixing the paint, a little spraying technique and masking the car.
Basic stuff that a new guy might need to know

We still need front valance lights and trunk hinges to finalize fit and then we can start getting a plan together with Chuck to cover the last part of Karma's rebuild

I know it's been a long and interesting road but a little more patience and Karma's rebuild will be complete and ready to head back West
AND ALL THANKS TO THE TEAM

Nice, I'm definetely going to be looking out for that article. I'm new to the whole body work aspects of building a car. I do the metal work and chassis construction but I'd like to broaden my knowledge when it comes to that. Is that going to be in the Camaro magazine?

The whole Karma story starts in the next issue, but the paint tech article will not be for a few issues.

Yea, I talked with Nick today about this.. The only problem is that Track Rat is at the same "prep for paint" stage.. just need to spread them out a bit.

Your story will be good since it's traditional glossy paint whereas the TR is the satin stuff. I'm sure you guys will provide some interesting tech.

Make sure you cover masking (ie, back masking, etc).. I think it's often overlooked and there is a trick to it. I've seen the first two stories all laid out.. they look VERY good.

I can't wait to see this finished. My hat is off to all of the people involved in getting this done for Tony and his family.
