I first shot bc//cc on a project back about 1990. I have used single stage acrylic urethane 99% of the time since. Other day I called some PPG store to price a certain color. They will ask for my "number" and I just say I am an individual not a shop but you better give me the shop price/...

Yes the epoxy primer, read Tech data from manu. and beware "rust encapsulators" and primers/ so called long term fix.

Always READ that company's tech sheet! And just about every company's epoxy has different windows for everything!! IT is always there to read just go to the PUTER!!!!!

I keep telling my oldself "this will be my last build" then the darn cariologist tells me " don't stop moving" "if you do, you are done!"

I got 2/3 the car done with pam sander and 40 and 80 grit in couple days. Bout there. The compressor works good for paint but too small to run the DA all the time.

Anyone have opinion of such???

Yea I will call Monday and ask for sure. Yes I agree, SPI has the vry best customer service outhere!

Talking about tach sheets. I notied othr day when Iorderd more SPI epoxy their thech sheet said to NOT apply over etch primer! NO way they said. I fabbed some patchs other day and had some etch primer handy and shot that over it to al it for now. better sand that off when my epoy primer get...

Or thin the epoxy primer and use as a sealer.

Yep! The paint tech sheet!!!

Back in Mo. I started to see big boneyards get crushed, usually the owner just retired or died off in the 90s. By 2000 it was really getting bad. Now, it is a lost cause! Old cars, Mopars were so much fun when you found them around when looking, or even ads in the KC Sunday paper, and just...

Yep, the buzzards went to the boneyard..bought a part for $20 and sold it on FeeBay for $50, but today they sell that same part on EvilBay for $250, IF they can find it! Life used to FUNNER!!!! (Yes spelling cops that is a word!!!) ha

I decided on getting a different Comet 64 post car. I like them better than that 66. I agree, I could have either straightened them and/or did some welding patches and make new edges. A few decade ago, we just got different doors/fenders out of the boneyard!!!!!

I wound up getting a 64 Comet 202 project. IF I had a place to have hid that 66 Comet I would picked it up also! haha I have been on FABO some 14 years and one of many things I love about this site, is that we can talk some about non Mopars here without war!.

I have always loved those 64-5s. Cool ride or will be!!

Cool ride!! I have always loved the 64- 8 Falcon, Fairlane, Comets. Dad was a Ford guy after the Chevy dealer pissed him off! ha

Ii didn't know that!!! Thanks!!

My HS car decades ago was a 64 Ford Custom (2 door post) 289 and three on tree. Pretty heavy for that SB! After 4 decades building Mopar, I like the learning curve of something new. Besides decent Mopar projects are getting scarce!! What isn't!?

I admit I never have had to deal with this, only maybe just a minor booger. I occsionally venture off into the dark side, in this case I have always wanted a 64 or 5 Merc Comet. 64 is one year model. Sheetmetal is not plentiful. You know the drill, look for a cheap project!! It will be a...

I just drive locally. Ir uns/drives don the road good. What an gowrong???? My first guess is the NO new radiator could be an issue. I just replaced the woreout trunnion with a conversion new shaft at $500.

And.... put a pressure gauge at that gun.... it can go BOOM!!!

Looks good to e. BodySchultz and heavy rubberized undercoat are two differnt things. I use both in different places.

Great work!!!!!

Have you ever seen a 68-70 B body trunk lid that did not leak!!??

Like mentioned, over spray gets on everything unless you prepare. Trying to spray any topcoat without a steady and adequate amout of air is a challenge. Can it be done and with better results that a brush? yes. Can you do it? Dunno. Auto paintless/primers and yes even the filler dust...

I like the fiberglass reinforced filler as it is wtaerproof and adds strength. A ***** and nasty to dry to sand any at all. Ya I agree it needs a new roof but many guys are not able to do such.

Phosphoric acid which Ospho is a diluted version. Soak in decent temps several times, scuff with scotch brite, and rince good with plenty of water. Neutralize!!!!!the acid!!!!! Some will say add baking soda. Remember most epoxy primers can react to OSPHO if not neutralized and it can react...

You can buy a comprssor at HF for like $300 odd dollars a $40 gun and it runs on 110. Buy some epoxy primer and go at it. You will be way ahead.

I always ask myself, what do the pros use and do???? There is a reason.

It needs the stop lite switch replaced and attention to taillite/brake lies, and replace the turn signal switch. I drive it but have never gone more than maybe 10-15 miles. It is insured thru Hagerty. Brakes are good, steering (manual) is even very tight. It has original radiator that has...
