No one on this earth, with one possible exception, wants to see this car in primer more that I. We have spent hours sandblasting, stripping, hand sanding, and cleaning. Today, we applied epoxy primer to the chassis, trunk and cockpit area.
Primer was also applied to the remainder of the undercarriage.
The passenger's side is complete and we are ready to hang the door and fenders.
Paint removal and surface prep in the trunk was the most difficult. At some point in time this space had been repainted with a brush. They must have used a quart of paint. More is not necessarily better. Looks good now.
Tomorrow morning, the aluminum panels; the front cowl and the rear shroud assembly shown in the photo above will be prepped and coated with epoxy primer. This will complete the epoxy primer phase of the restoration. After the primer is sufficiently cured, the doors and fenders will be fitted to the chassis in order to properly locate the driver's side door latch panel.
The body work will begin this weekend.
Enjoy...
