1966 Valiant Signet Convertible Resto
Gratuitous Pics just for you Tin:cheers:
Well nothing major has been happening on the car. Been busy with other stuff. I did manage to get the hood sanded out to 3000 and got half of it buffed out. Mind you the first two pictures are before any buffing just sanded to 3000grit.
Weapons of choice
I still have this little dinger to fix on the cowl. This really pissed me off when this happened because I had just finished sanding the cowl the say before to 3000grit as was ready to buff. **** happens. :angry7:
1st very light coat of epoxy to seal the exposed metal. Will wetsand lightly with 800 and then blend in some base. Then clear the masked off cowl.
Here's an awesome use for that big roll of Seran Wrap you get from Harbor Freight. Engine bay took 15 minutes to mask off completely.
Also, got the floor shift steering column taken apart and some other odds and ends epoxied and ready for base and clear tomorrow.
Last, I stripped the convertible frame and repainted it flat black. I tell you what, acetone reduced Rustomleum out of the cheap Harbor Freight siphon feed gun worked great for this kinda thing.
I think that's all for now. Busy day tomorrow.
