Stop in for a cup of coffee

Not 100 percent sure which makes me question why I bought a Schutz gun. Definitely a good coat of paint, not 100 percent after that. Also need to learn about the need to replace the body putty or figure out if seam sealer alone will do it, lots to learn
‘Replace body putty’ or use seam sealer- where?
 
First coat. Second one isnt much betterer. But its got two- ish coats, beats what was there. Inside of roof only needs one coat. Firewall concerns me, as i want it to look reasonably decent. I cant afford 3 days for 3 coats of paint.

Been a do nothing day here. Had breakfast but lunch and dinner is not going to happen. Trying to retire and sit around the house all day watching TV is not for me. Sorry just venting.

There's areas in the fenderwells, esp. in the rear where things come together that there is factory mud. Also I am replacing the spare tire carrier section of the trunk and probably not the right way but I'll need to weld and seal that. Much more wire wheeling ahead, trying to think if air or drill is better

I wish my 76 Dart Sport was that nice. Everything in your photos has left the chat on mine…

Especially where I welded things in I used this neoprene stuff on the outside and seam sealer on the inside. The only factory mud I recall was where the roof joined the body. All those areas needed work anyway, but if it was in good shape I might have left it alone.

Might as well brew up a pot of coffee. Going to be a rough week. 2 funerals and graduation on Friday. I hope I can get away with Tom tomorrow for his race engine dyno session. I need something fun.
