A day in the shop with a scrapper and wire brush in my hand, bending over cleaning, rinsed down with brake parts cleaner then a coat of high temp POR 15.

A day in the shop, cool 66 degrees at 6am this morning so I finally finished up the wet sanding and primed the bottom of my hood, scuffed and shot it with single stage.
First time to shoot this single stage in 15 years ... now move to the firewall

Here is the pictures that will show just how much someone missed the color on the paint job someone did before I got it 12 or so years ago, hope to get the firewall and iner fenders painted this weekend

Did I ask before Mike? What is the paint code on your fender tag?
 
INteresting, Do you have a photo of your tag? You can PM me if you wish.
 
After comparing the red to the gold, I think the block will be painted MoPar blue
 
I will tell yea, wet sanding takes it out of me, a little here and a little there, worse side is dune and in primer, and I have the seats set in place (in there holes in the floor) they feel great @Ddaddy.. still at a crawl but getting close to paint under the hood, enjoying my shop time, blessed is the man on the hill

Just one for fun on this labor day weekend, my labor day was enjoying time with Victoria that started at 5:30 am this morning
Determined to have this step behind me and enjoy some me time doing something I have not dun in over 10 years.

It was a full day, felt great to mix and spray again. Labor day, a great day on the hill.

Fitting parts on the 360, gathering parts I stashed back a few years ago, I did find my crank balancer, resting my shoulder and neck today and going to enjoy this day and remember the fallen 911 and count my blessings

Amazing how this color changes as I walk around and look at it under these fluorescent lights, line are looking good as they change colors

After a fiasco on the GMC Sunday I needed something to do that needed dun but not break my back, so I cleaned and prepped my Valve covers, wrinkle paint works great if you fallow instructions :thumbsup:
I wonder if @66340SEDAN sees anything, @cosgig should to I believe, he sent me these valve covers a couple years ago :bs_flag:
