Ugly Bastard.. 67 Barracuda Notch
Been a while since I posted, since I worked on it even. I had tried my hand at filler, sanding, etc. Turns out I dislike it a LOT. Metal work, I'm all in. Engine work, drivetrain, anything mechanical, interior, reassembling the car, great. Filler work? Not for me. Anyways, the car sat and sat, just needing filler and prime. I had a couple guys give me quotes to do the filler and spray it, too expensive for me though. So it sat. The other day I got the itch to work on it, so I bought a cheap orbital sander and went to work on it. I just want a car that can be driven in the rain if I'd like, or left outside under the tree. So I'm ok with it being a 15 footer. I sprayed it in primer last night, outside (I don't have a paint booth). After fighting with mixtures, the primer went on alright. A few spots to add some spot filler to but it'll be OK. I'm going with YY1 yellow, its more of a cream. I'll spray on the stripes in black along the lower part of the car, between wheel openings, above the rocker trim. Here's some pics of before and after the primer.
