Anyone that does there own body work will understand that eventually body work becomes your life. Body is nearly complete. A few more sandings with finer paper both above and below and it will be moving onto doors, trunk, fenders and hood.
Took a break since the heat somewhat decided to give things a break and layed down color on the rebuilt door hinges. The paint is pretty transparent, so 6 plus coats of based followed by 2 light coats of clear. There body hinges, they really dont need that mirror finish the rest of the car gets. First color pictures is laying down the dull coat of base, and the final is after clear coating. |
