What's the extension called? When I click on it, it just takes me to the store, not a particular extension.

Jay,
Type in photobucket, and you will get a few options one of them is dedicated to the third-party usage

I like how you curled that paper back on the top.

I used a level with a straight edge to help to find the center of the style line for laying out tape on the body line. When level, sliding the straight edge will leave a mark dead center of the body line. I'm sure there are many other ways of doing this but I found this work good for my old eyes ;-)

Pretty slick!

Pat, I REALLY understand about the "old eyes" comment. Are you going to shoot the car in your shop?

Yes, when all the blocks sanding is done we will blow the car apart, take it out of the booth and do a thorough cleaning of the walls, ceiling, lights, and floors then bring the parts back in and paint the hood, doors, and the fenders off the car.

With the body lines taped I blocked sanded the top 1/3 and bottom 1/3 of the sides with 320 grit sand paper. Then using the 1st tape line as a guide, I ran tape above or below the first tape line so I could block sand the center section of the car. This creates straight but sharp body lines that need softened. After removing all the tape I went back over both sides with 400 grit sand paper softening the body lines.
600 grit paper is next one step away from sealer :-)
Thanks

It look good Pat nice job. I remember when I did mt 73 Z/28 with 600 before buffing, Man what a job. I can't even imagine doing a car that big 3 or 4 times already. This is going to be slick! Nice work.

I sure hope your arms don't fall off! Who would run the paint gun?

I had a few people ask what materials I was using for primer, filler and paint so I thought I would pass this information on here as well.

Starting with all the paint stripped I sprayed the bare metal with Cromax epoxy DTM primer #2599S (DuPont product). From there I used all Evercoat products for the filler and high build primer. Evercoat Rage ultra body filler #100125 was used for the first layer over the Cromax epoxy primer, except for any edges or corners I used Evercoat Everglass #100622 Next was a skim coat of Evercoat polyester glazing putty #100400.

With all the filler sanded to 220 I sprayed 2 layer of Evercoat Super build primer #100730. Block sanded that down with 220 grit paper and sprayed two coats of Evercoat Finish Sand #100738. Sounds like a broken record but I block sanded that back down again with 220 grit paper.

Then last two coats of Evercoat Finish Sand #100738 and started block standing at 320 then to 400 grit paper.

For the sealer, basecoat and clearcoat I will be using all PPG products.
I will use PPG's DP90LF epoxy primer sealer. Then PPG Omni basecoat. And then we will follow it up with PPG's DC4000 clearcoat.

Thanks

I wish I was close to you. I would have enjoyed being around on this whole project. I know that it's great when it's finished but I will miss watching your thread. When my 51 was finished, it was great and sad at the same time. LOL

I'm sure I would've enjoyed your company, but all the BS we would do would add another year to do this project ;-) When this car gets painted and I start seeing light at the end of the tunnel then I'll start
thinking about the next project. I always tell my wife my favorite car is the next one.
Thanks

Ok, this is the 4th and it will be the last primer coat! The 3rd coat was very close but not for black.
Thanks
