Josh K. Posted April 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 I'm telling you, matte clear over the bare metal would be tits. I want it to be pretty damn it :rofl: I ordered the epoxy primer and a base color to tint with. Here's my range of color options for the summer... Gonna shoot for close to the Jeep Anvil in the engine bay. Might change the whole car to purple this winter... Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted April 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Probably shoot for this: 5 Quote Link to comment

Josh K. Posted April 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 I'm going to leave the cage bare metal and shoot a clear later. I think painting it would be too much color and loose the rawness of the cage. 3 Quote Link to comment

Josh K. Posted April 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Time to seam seal, kitty hair the quarter to roof line, do some rough filler work and prime inside of decklid and hood. The I can hang all the panels and shoot it once again. Hopefully end of month I can have windows in and start reassembly.I kinda like my custom colored primer :rofl: :rofl: 1 Quote Link to comment

Josh K. Posted April 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 I'm really thinking this car deserves some Epsilons. Maybe wait until I paint the car, maybe not... :ninja: Either Stepped lip: Or most likely flat lip: 5 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted April 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 A little bit every day... This was the quarter off my old purple 510. It was rough.. other side is super straight to start. 4 Quote Link to comment

Josh K. Posted April 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Bad fuckin ass. Thanks! Now that all the "not so fun" stuff is done I'm kicking ass. It's super motivating to actually make it pretty and know it will be on the road soon! 3 Quote Link to comment

tr8er Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Looking a bit thick down there. 1 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted April 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Looking a bit thick down there. Yeah I had to shrink the panel a lot and it sank in slightly. I never claimed to be a metal worker or a body man.. just gonna do the best I can 1 Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 I'm impressed. And you thought you kinda were a metal worker 1 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted April 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 I wish. I would love to have all the proper tools and technique to work metal. I cut metal, not shape it 4 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted April 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 My goal was get the inside of the panels sealed up and ready to mount. I got it done.. First I rolled her outside to intimidate the neighbors. Then it was time to finish stripping metal... No more paint stripper for me??? All primed. Trunk lid has too much rust in the rear seam. I'm hoping I can score one at Canby. Maybe James can bring one from Datsunville... It will work for now but I need a new one before final paint. I'm hoping to have windows in and the car driving by mid next month. I think that will allow time for a bunch of good shake down runs before Canby. I don't want to get towed home... 5 Quote Link to comment
Cony Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Spent like 3 hours going through this thread. I was getting kind of bummed cuz their were a ton of pics photobucket wasn't showing. Glad to see that at the end they are there. This car, this work of art is incredible Josh. Just wanted to chime in and thank you for the crazy work ethic. It's truly a labor of love. So sick!!! Keep going Man! 2 Quote Link to comment
