BODY WORK IN PRIMER

Today was a great day.  We began by putting the finish coats of paint on the "new" oil pan.  It looks great !  Check it out.  How do you like the color?  It is sort of a silver green.












While it was drying, I prepared the fenders and front cowl for primer.  It has been a bit cold here lately.  We actually had a little snow this morning so I had to wait until it warmed up in the shop before I could apply the primer.  Thought you might like to see the snow storm that just hit Hilton Head, SC.








Just kidding!  I was sandblasting some rusty parts outside.  Back to the painting.  I applied the epoxy primer to the fenders and front cowl.  It revealed a few small imperfections but the high build primer that will be applied next will eliminate them.  









The benefit of using black primer...it highlights every little imperfection.







Y'all come back now...
