Jared Richey Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 Went ahead and moved the car into my other garage to get the drivetrain/ wiring installed. Hopefully I can time it just right and knock out the body and paint early part of 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Richey Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 "Ain't no bondo in this car" Hahaha Said no straight paint job ever. Bodywork started on loose panels with 3M filler. This thing will take shape in a hurry once it moves under its own power . VINTAGE AIR is on order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leghome Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 That 3M body is some of the easiest filler I have ever worked with. With careful spreading no sandpaper over 80 grit is used by me or the shop where I first seen the 3M filler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Richey Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 Epoxy over the completed bodywork. 2k after lunch Got lucky this week and 60 degree temps. Always something to go back and fix but after the first round of wet sand Blocking 2k you know where you stand. This ppg commercial epoxy (EPX 901 EPX 908) is great. It dries when its still cool temps.. Only cost $140 kit (2 gallon sprayable, 1:1) been using it for a several years now. Its epoxy, its sealer. Its great stuff. Long re coat time without scuffing too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Richey Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 Going to muffler shop this week hopefully Got to go pick up Vintage Air. Hope to have it running by the end of the month. Bodywork half way well actually over halfway, all the bolt on parts in high build primer already. The key to finishing this car for Carlisle will be the next 3 months. Very critical time period. Car must be painted and allowed time to cure without rushing the cutting and buffing process. Buffing will be absolute last thing. Learned My lesson the hard way cutting and buffing these cars right after a paint job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Richey Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 Blocking. Coming out nicely. Got to re wipe a little on the fender. Sanded smooth and feels smooth but when you look at it with the water you see ripples where I stuck the orange tape . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Richey Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 I'll leave out the wheel wells until he does his final alignment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Richey Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 Now that I'm back from my trip I can get back on this car along with my customer work. Fully plan on finishing... But if anyone is intrested in the car that sees this I will sell it and finish it to YOUR color specs. And you still would be in the mid 30s on your investment. Otherwise enjoy the stretch run!
