The ups and downs of getting my car on the road

We used to paint the car last, like it was the last thing to do. Back in the 70s--early 80's every block had least one hot rod car in primer, lol

Gray was the most common but a few were a dull red. After the motor was tuned, car running great, brakes, inside all done, then you painted the car. The body work you do first cause it makes such a mess, then prime and a year or two later, ha ha, the paint went on

Just when it was in primer you always keep the car dry since the primer would suck up the water
