When the weather's cooperative it's nice to be able to shoot a car like that outside. You don't have to worry about lighting and weird shadows. LOL
It’s impossible to reproduce Mother Nature inside. These days I need 10x more light to see things as I use to.When the weather's cooperative it's nice to be able to shoot a car like that outside. You don't have to worry about lighting and weird shadows. LOL
Atta boy, I knew you would!So I sucked it up and fixed the 2 spots that I forgot to fix.... Kaelyn took me to town in the Duster, that I extracted from the garage and washed this morning, to get supplies.
Wet sand with 500 grit and a block to see the low spot then put tape around it to keep the damage to a minimum... apply glaze then sand with 320 till almost there then remove the tape and sand with 500 on a block till perfect. I was about to mix up some reduced epoxy but noticed I still had a splash left over from Friday morning! Perfect. Rolled the tape over on itself so the edge would be soft when I sprayed and pushed it outside before the storm rolled in. Ended up wet sanding the whole car to get anything out and a perfect surface for tomorrows money coats. Wet sanded in the epoxy as well. I could not get a few coat of base on today, which I was hoping for, so the first hour tomorrow will be getting these areas to the same coverage as the rest of the car. Also bought some SEM undercoating for the trunk. This will be painted over eventually.

Am I that predictable?Atta boy, I knew you would!
a better job then dodge ever did on these rides .
I’m nowhere near you on my cars but if I had the space and time I would be the same way. Worked in the body and paint business eons ago and know what it takes.Am I that predictable?
Will those kick panels fit a 66 Dart?Sweet car extra nice that it's a convertible.
if you can deal with 1/16" of metal trim showing on the top part of the seal. I'd get a hardtop windshield seal and save you a bunch of $$$. 0 One side (on the inside of the car has a little smaller flange). Externally it's the same. Inside the car it's 1/16" difference( I measured a sedan also and they are the same as a hardtop.) I make a few parts for the early A's convertible too if you are in need of some. and am constantly working on other stuff when I get the time and money to R&D my stuff.
kick panels with speakers.

The ones with speaker holes? I think so.Will those kick panels fit a 66 Dart?
Good deal do you have a part #. I didn't see them on your site.The ones with speaker holes? I think so.

Is the trunk tiger striping with the clear? You're probably already doing it, but try going side to side 1st coat, and then front to back 2nd coat, then back to side to side 3rd coat. If it still does it....at least you can play tic-tac-toe on it at car shows! Tomorrow is Monday, so I'd call SPI before pulling the trigger again. They are like Farmers Ins....they know a thing or two cause they've seen a thing or 2!
I was gonna say Your arm probably was getting tired and you were tipping the gun a little getting it heavier on one side. I mean really, you've been working pretty hard at it. LOLActually Chad, the guy I bought the Motobase from, messaged me right after I posted on the SPI facebook page. I have the plan of action in the morning.
