[RUSTY Cuda]

Next time I see charger man(69 charger under resto) I'll try & remember to ask where he got it & how much!
On to the last few days work, got 2 coats a hi build on the sandin areas, so the blockin stage is commin quick, kinda mixed feelins here, want it done but am a little leary of what the first quide coat will uncover???
For you color blind guys! IT"S GRAY now, oh you said blind not deaf! [smilie=e: Rich.

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

exhaust end!
the gun got pretty gummed up yesterday, so I pulled it apart last night, that hi build is nasty stuff, but she shot great today, too bad I only had to do a load & a half!

 

[mr340]

What you said just reminded me of Christen (the movie that is) [smilie=2:
I was young when I 1st saw that movie n my dad has a 58 fairlane 500, so when I saw taht thing in the shop with its twin headlights staring at me AHHHH. Remember I was a kid so a 57/58 era cars all looked the same to me lol.

Nice job Rich, really looking great. Oh what kinda spray gun are you using?

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

Wow, my granddad had the same car, black! this is gettin weird!
the gun is a cheapy I got at the paint shop, 80 bucks, shoots fine, but I'm hearing when paint time comes I'm gonna have to go better, we'll see, gonna play in the interior & underneath first & see what the results look like!Rich.

K, don't wanna know your wife or kids names, that would be too much all at once! [smilie=e: Rich.
So the foggin began, did a little sandin between downpours, yep, got some work to do, started on the pass side,kinda knew that would be the worst, here she is!

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

so after seein that I HAD to check out the drivers side(my 2nd attempt at a quarter seam) this seam has no lead, just the putty I posted before, a wee bit better, highs & lows not as pronounced!
what you guys think of just shootin clear coat on it & goin for the painted pony look!(a LOT less work)!

[jodaddy1]

Man she is lookin GREAT!!!
I would gladly LOAN you my gun if you promise to clean it before you send it back!!!

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

You like livin dangerously Jo, I was brought up with a few rules, never loan your car, your money , your paint gun or your wife! (not neccessarily in that order!) [smilie=e:
My cousin offered me his turbine system, even he said I'd have to buy my own gun! [smilie=e:
Honestly I haven't really cleaned mine yet, took some of it apart the other nite & scrapped out the crud, i am gonna buy a kit next time I'm at the paint shop, then try & do it up right, now i just keep the tip & the needle clean! I'm still learning about this stuff! [smilie=e: Rich.

 

[XRuland]

Your using a water trap right? On your air compressor line that is. Dont worry I'm using a JC Whiteny gun my self lol. Painted all my dads cars and the 69 charger I showed you guys. We sprayed emeron out of it to lol.

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

Actually I haven't set it up yet, use an in line filter right at the gun, my hose is hangin outside so it condensates also in some weather, when i set up for paint I'll use both!
Sanded 3/4 of the roof today, not too shabby, couple a dings showed up(away from where we worked) but I think another round a hi build may do the job! [smilie=e: Rich.

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

More colors! Ron worked with me a few hours today , got a lot done, I know I missed a bunch a spots but we got the main problems smoothed out!
the worst of it!
