72 duster Build progress
Well, no primer again today guys....sorry............................
NOT!!!! lol.
So, myself and my dad busted butt on the car this afternoon and later my brother showed up to help mask the jams off and some odds and ends, my wife even helped out later in the day and prepsalled the car down for me.
did some last minute body tuning,ground a couple of welds down I hadnt got to yet,got the wheels and tires off,put it up on jack stands,sanded down wheel wells.....lots of other odds and ends. anyhow after busting butt on it all day I decided it was FINALLY time to start mixing up primer and buster the guns out. I sprayed the jams and inside of the doors and trunk gutters and the upper portion of the engine bay under the hood and a few other odds and ends...and right as I was about done doing all that my jam gun decided it wanted to start crapping out on me (atleast it happened after i was done using it for what i needed it for lol....going to have to rip it apart and go through it. then I busted out my big gun and sprayed the whole car down.
Im going to be honest, I was expecting to find a good bit of flaws in it that I was going to have to fix ( body work starts playing tricks on your eyes after staring at it for so long lol) but after spraying primer.....its looking like im going to have minimal work to do it all. spot putty will take care of almost all of what imperfections there may be. the passenger side fender has a couple little areas I want to tune in a bit more but nothing to serious.
I just so happened to have JUST enough primer to do the job, emptied the cup on my very last pass which finished the job lol.
I ended up spraying the top portion of the engine bay,under the hood,door jams,under deck lid,trunk gutters,and the entire exterior. Im very pleased with it after setting my expectations so low for what I thought it was going to be.
now im going to take a little break because ive been at it every day and am worn out. then when I get back on it i think im going to mess around with some odds and ends of mechanical stuff and THEN get back onto blocking out the body and getting it ready for paint.
As promised....heres your car **** guys, let me know what you think! ( p.s., id like to thank divenut for the help with detailed pictures to help me out with a few things I was questioning.....what do you think divenut?)
going to work
during painting jams
during spraying the quarter
came out really nice
can you say........what antenna? LOL
doors open a bit so it kind of throws it off, but you can get an idea of how straight it came out
Ill try to get some pictures of it in the next few days backed out of the garage in the day time so you guys can see it in full view. let me know what you guys think!
