Dad’s 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340

So two steps forward, one step back. We originally scuffed, not stripped, the underside of the hood. Well, we were sanding it in preparation for primer, sealer, and color, and while blowing off the sanding dust, we blew off the primer we put on. Seems the hood was Repainted previously, and that paint job did not include proper prep, so the 2nd paint job was separating from the first. The primer I put down stuck just fine to the surface I prepped... that surface just didnt end up sticking to the surface under it. I spent the last two days sand blasting the inner structure to get the crap off. Just reprimed it tonight.

Also, the new booth has arrived. We went with an inflatable booth for two reasons. A) The size allows me to do more than one part at a time, and B) it has built in air handling. My son and I are going to see about setting it up tomorrow. Dad and my son spent yesterday getting rid of 26 old tires. Hopefully that makes room to put other stuff that is in the way of the booth space.
