1966 Valiant Signet Convertible Resto
Nothing major but I got a bunch of work done over the last 3 days. I managed to finish the quarter panels, rockers, cowl, door jams and welded up the trim holes on the tail panel. Then I got some epoxy on the body to seal all my filler work and cover any bare metal spots. I am pooped.
The drivers side quarter took me 2 solid days to get it just about perfect. It was hit in an accident at one point in time and it was almost impossible for me to hammer out the dent. I did managed to get a dolly that fit into the gap inside the trunk. Smoothing rounding that sucker out was a *****.
I used the Rage Gold at the rear where the quarter was hit because it's a little thicker and is easier to apply when trying to repair or do major filling on a vertical surface . I used the Rage Extreme for the rest.
Wednesday I will hit the car with some G2 Featherfill poly primer and start blocking that out. I'm getting closer.
Almost ready for epoxy
Trim holes welded up nicely. Helps to put a little piece of copper behind the holes to prevent warping and having those darn MIG wires poking through.
Masked up and ready to shoot. I did put the car on blocks so I could reach under the rocker panels
Epoxy on the body
As you can see the filler soaks up the paint quite a bit. I didn't get fancy with the booth today. Just threw a box fan by the garage door. Works just fine. No problems with dust either =D>
