1966 Factory V8 Valiant Signet Restoration For My Other Daughter
So if I don't get this painted by Thanksgiving I am done until April as it will be too cold in the garage to paint. If I did not have all that metal work in the back to finish I think there is a good change I could make it, but.... With all that work there is no way just working weekends so I am going to try to put in a few hours after work every day. I still think the odds are low but at least there is a chance I could get lucky.. We counted up the car shows coming in Sept/Oct and that will take 5 weeks of Saturdays or a full work week out of play...
Stripped the worst fender with the most hidden sins. I knew they existed as I could see them on the backside. The other fender is much better. This one is ready for the welder, hammer and dolly then the final sand blasting in the complex areas and it can get epoxied. If I can have both fenders epoxied by the end of this weekend I will be happy. Then next week will be the same plan for the doors. By then the summer rains should have ended and I can get busy on the rear metal work.
90 degree grinder, 60 minutes and Blackhawk disks are all you need to get here.
