1965 Dodge Dart Charger

The paint guys, Michael and Togga, called today and ask me to stop by. When I got there the red paint was sanded down on some areas and the fenders were added on. But the biggest thing was about that greenish primer. We all know that the body came on a conveyor to the bathincl the dipping process.

Most of the primer when checking on unrestored cars were seen on the underside of the spare wheel place. And that must have been dueto body going up and the body was tilted backwards.

After a closer examination on one of my unrestored fenders from a 1965 Dart assembeld at the Los Angeles plant we found out that the inside of the mountingarea toward the inner fender was painted green. I checked when I got back home and found out that the body itself must have been sprayed separately with that greenish primer. That means that the whole undercarrige was painted with that primer!

WHen Michael closer cleaned the area on the fender to check out the color of that greenish primer we found out that the fenders were painted while standing! We found evedence of several drippings on that area.

ON Monday they will get the body back in that red primer, on Tuesday the masking will be for the greenish primer and on Wednesday the primer will be shot! :happy1:

On Friday they want me to come down and mount the front fenders and do all the body sealer before the final paint!

The week after that the final paint will be shot and hopefully the assembly of the car can begin! But wee'll see what happens!
