And we went on from there looked at a few...So i said that looks cool! James picked out green as the top color, But i wanted Red that looks so cool when i saw the color chart.... Finish product as you see it.... Quote Link to comment

78B210GTX Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 GREAT WORK!!! good to see another datsun saved!! Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I know we are all a bunch of picture whores so on with it. Windshield went in Thursday, and that evening a friend came by to help with the buffing. Sand the complete upper are of the goon with 1500 grit dry DA Then 3000 grit wet Then buff Then polish Then clean your ass off Then have a beer It always amazes me the work that goes in to a complete paint job. Hours and hours then you think you are done, more hours and hours Once the car is painted to do a good job cutting and buffing 2 guys most the day. And you still have to put the car back together Next install painted mirrors and finishing cleaning compound Quote Link to comment

Wide14u Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 just amazing Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 The owner can't pick it up for a week + so it will sit. It will be at the next swapmeet. Mar 6 Sactown I never buff engine bays, just spray wet very wet. if it runs it usually runs in a seam, and you can run the clear to the frame rail ezly. All the engine bays that have gottin runs on, no one has noticed. Some times I will get an ice sickle and leave it, as it is my trade mark, patent pending :P We all went to P-town for 11 hours then came home. Got there at 12, and left the next day at 11am. Phil is here he has a car tore apart in the driveway. He is not going anywhere for awhile Quote Link to comment

yellowdatsun Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 My gawd, where do you guys get the time to do all these projects?! I'm always amazed at how much work you're able to get accomplished. Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 My gawd, where do you guys get the time to do all these projects?! I'm always amazed at how much work you're able to get accomplished. Well, I have a house painting business and there is not a lot of that going on. The little work we do have, I have my foreman do, keeps him from leaving. And us from retraining someone new. Also we are training Phil for auto body and paint. Atom helps alot, Tiki helps out alot also. Some long hours in the shop. When Atom decided to get his done and painted he worked in the shop til 4-5am. Kicks ur ass a little but 12-16 hours days really move project along. I also think consistency is a key. Quote Link to comment
WAGON JON Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Yes, consistency! Quote Link to comment
