This car has just beat me up eight ways to Sunday! I do appreciate there compliments, guys! They mean a lot!

Cheers

Well that's a bummer. I enjoy your threads and will miss your work. I hope you find your Judge though. I'll be glued to that thread if and when you find it. That's my dream car after all!

I've gotten a few messages about the undercoating and what I used. Seems the gooey mess looks good and others want to mimic my mess!

The product is RestRick's undercoating. It's just about as identical to factory undercoating/ sound deadener that you can get. It's ready to spray as-is, no mixing, and what I use to spray it is a bottle and shutz style gun from a used Raptor spray bed liner kit. I use a very low PSI, like 10 or so, and it comes out thick and goopey and really looks original. Raising the pressure will spray it finer. Excellent stuff and paintable like the inner quarters are.

The purple paint poses poignantly although procrastination presented itself post haste! But finally they will be mounted tomorrow if I don't have to go to work! Adhesion promoter in the epoxy, then flex agent in the clear. That should compensate for any wiggle that happens during installation. Hopefully not creating cracks like Ray the Plumber displays during a call to fix a leaky faucet!

I was lucky to get these painted this morning since it's oh...I don't know...a billion degrees right now?

Cheers
Dave

Dave:

You ever do back-to-back restorations before? Like you did with that white truck and now the 'Cuda.

Hi Lee,

Yep; Bee and Mustang....1949 Truck and T-Bird....1968 Charger and 1969 Charger.... and on and on.

Never had near the amount of problems these last two cars have given me. I promised myself with the 507 that no other cars will be touched until that is done and I'm behind the wheel!

Now, I still have a two-tier deck, firepit, outdoor cedar furniture set, and if course, finishing up my big shop to do in the meantime!

Cheers
Dave
