Not even close.

I can feel the finish line. 4 coats of clear on the back and it’s done, one coat on the front to seal it for taping. Should have another quart of Frozen White next week. Need to fit the gate in a few days to tape up the lines to match the body and then mask off the letters and shoot the...

Yea, no…:)

White in the middle with orange letters. I puzzled that too but finally just did it with what I had.

Sometimes you have to adjust. Planned on white, tape the letters and where orange bands were but the white gave me trouble so had to order more. Won’t be here till next week so we will do it the other way around. Four coats of clear on the gate back, hinges, latch’s tomorrow once FedEx...

Tail cut and buffed and some jewelry installed.

Little mockup as I still need to black out behind the grill. Trying out the new chrome/polish jewelry too. I needed the color split on the grill.

Decided to break it into 2 sessions so when one goes to crap it does not make all 3 pieces messed up. Grill and gate jamb done, screwed up and fixed. Tailgate tomorrow.

White down with a reduced coat of UC to lock it down for taping up the letters and splits for the orange. Have had issues with Motobase and tape, not this time. Will install the tailgate to get the lines to match up perfectly with the body. Same for the grill.

Long road but ready for paint.

Wet 400 then base tomorrow. I can see the light.

PUI has a lot of interior parts. They are not quite the same quality but typically you don’t have to wait 8 months to get it.

More plugging away on the tailgate. 2k shot and blocked with 220. Tomorrow two coats of epoxy and wet sand with 400 and it’s ready.

:poke:

Sorry. Blocked out a couple layers of SPI black epoxy, shot 4 heavy coats, blocked it again lightly and used glaze to fill some issues then shot 2 coats of grey epoxy. Now if I hit black when sanding it is time to STOP.

TMI! :rofl:

Spring is here. About 80F

It’s never over till it’s over. Blocked out the epoxy primer that I put down yesterday found a few low spots and a few edges that I did not like. Little bit of glaze little more blocking with 80 grit and a quick sand with 180 grit and it’s flat. Sprayed on a couple light coats of gray epoxy...

Thanks Steve. Sorry for calling you Troy. Bill and I were talking about a Troy and it just kept coming out!

Measure your fuel pressure at the carb input and see what you have. An electric could easily put out enough to give you this problem.

My experience new fuel pumps will put out 8-12 PSI and rumors are Hollys are sensitive to fuel pressure. I used Daytonas on my dual carb setup which are Holly knockoffs from Argentina. They would occasionally flood over at idle. I found an original rebuildable Carter pump, bought a rebuild kit...

Nice Ulf!

Great meeting you too Randy, and your posse. Its 1:20AM and we are almost home.

Thank you.

Great weekend with Bill Allphin. Photobombed Jay Leno, cruised the coast in a classic convertible, met Jay Leno’s car painter who was impressed with my work, and Cheryl’s car took first place in the class. What shall we do next year?

Spring Fling is over. Met a few FABO members this weekend and the Dart was well received. Got a couple pats on the back. First place in the Restified class (3-7 changes) and Jay Leno’s car painter gave me a nice complements on my bodywork and paint finishing. His car was stunning. Finally...

Where is everyone!

Locked and ready to load. Heading out tomorrow
