Default Hard Work

My time is also being spent sanding and filling pits, removing sharp edges, weld spatter............etc. After I get off work I only get a few hours a night. I make most of my progress on the weekends.

Default Nice weekend for Painting

Frame was really easy to work on, sanded twice, and 95% of the light pitting is gone. The nicest frame I have ever worked on. Beautiful morning for some bug and wind free painting.

Moved it to the finish room/paint booth.

Default Control Arm Bushings

Once i have all the chassis parts smoothed out with no rust pits, its time to press back in the bushings. Ive made some simple tooling over years to help. I use the press as much as possible with the except of the rear end, where they have to be pulled into place.

Default Seat Tracks and Springs

Amongst some of the smaller items to redo i blasted, cleared, and painted the seat tracks. Ive seen variations on if the full foot track is fully black, ends black and in a few instances no black. Regardless of how it came, i dont wanna see my feet once installed. The springs got some color because i get tired of everything being natural finish.

Im actually not familiar with that product. I tend to keep things simple and purchase products from either the Keystone company for things like lacquer primer and other consumables like lacquer, and then work my way through the ppg and omni or shop lines of ppg for all remaining epoxy primers, topcoats, basecoats, and clears.
