Soooo, after a long time away from the car...too long...I'm finally getting back at it.
Got sidetracked with the trailer build and then picking up the truck for my wife. Then of course fall cleanup, then easy to put off getting back at the car as its at the stage I hate the most, hand sanding the high build primer before sealer.
So as I was off this past week I finally made myself get back at it. Got the entire body sanded down, and this past Saturday gave it all a good coat of sealer. Unfortunately it was probably my worst job to date. Partly due to forgetting to double check my gun settings and partially due to rushing as I was worried about running out of material. I wound up leaving my gun set up to put out way too much material which in turn caused me to get a number of runs in the sealer coat. Of course every one had to be on an external panel too.
Went out today and sanded out the runs. Fortunately they came out pretty easily. Unfortunately I blew through the sealer in a couple spots so I will have to touch it up again. I'm hoping to get color inside the car and trunk and around the doors and engine bay as well as the rad support this weekend. Then I can finally reinstall the hood, trunk and doors and put the car back on its wheels in preparation for final paint. Then comes the long journey of reassembly. Hope to have it done before spring.
