Well JustFreaky, I've almost got everything I need to change the spindle over, so I'll ship yours soon.
I've got the body painted white again, and tomorrow I'll mask off the top of the car to do the bottom color. I've got the grill bezel, the running boards and the fenders all painted up and looking sweet! God I love my heated floors. Makes for a nice comfortable spray area.
So far everything is turning out looking droolicious!
I'm already beating people off the car, telling them to stop licking the paint. It's not candy, just a damn fine paint job!
Once I've got the bottom painted, I'll paint the roll cage to match the fenders.
Yes Steve, I will post pictures. Honest. But you have to promise not to eat the pictures no matter how sweet the paint looks!
It's going to hurt something fierce when I get my first scratch. (no that's not an invitation Ricky Bobby...)
RB is jealous already and he's only seen one fender. Wait until he sees the rest of the car! I am very pleased with the dupont paint I bought. It goes on smooth, covers really well, and flows out nice and fine with just enough body to fill in sanding scratches. Good on them!
Enjoying the cheapo hvlp spray gun I bought at Princess Auto. It works just fine. Good thing it came with a spare gun since I found out that I must have dropped it last year and it sprung a leak. At $20 for the pair, who could resist, and to think it works great!
For my first paint job, it is unbelievably good looking. Yup. Proud new papa. That's me!
Now to do the mechanical stuff needed. Need to do valve shims, clean the carbs, oil change, change a bunch of heims, get new cut tires, adjust pinion angle, install harness, seat, and go racing. That's all! (40 days to test and tune at the local track)
Mike
PS. Sorry to hear that your local track closed down. I dread the day when the city gets too close to ours.
