bigchowder Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Dropped by Datsunland to check out progress. Things are moving along, and the ride is starting to look awesome. Won't be long until we see some color. Once again, I remain impressed by James' work. Quote Link to comment

the510keeper Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Getting the body set up for the big day, jambs come first. Yes a crap load of masking Based white for the bottom color of the two tone Then it got cold, the heater in my shop has been disconnected since summer. Been trying to get the contractor over to hook everything back up but things have been taking awhile longer then I thought. Sprayed 1 coat of Corral, and it just puddled up and ran off. Got a couple lights out the shed, warmed up the metal and things started to come together. About the time I was finished spraying the last coat of corral basecoat the heater got hooked back up and now the shop is nice and cozy. All ready for clear. Cleared and done. look at them sexy lines Quote Link to comment

ZackTheImpaler Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Those shop lights work great to warm things up. Whenever I do any bodywork I buy a bunch of bulbs! Quote Link to comment

Dirttrack510 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 This car is going to be a two tone, wouldn't it be hard to match the lines if it was all apart? it looks to me like he picked his lines for the paint job, before spraying the door jams, so I'm assuming he will just line up his paint lines with the jams. :unsure: Quote Link to comment

Even though i mask my interior lines they may not always match up with my exterior lines. This is the reason we want to bolt all the panels on the car before paint. Once the 1st color has been applied, we run a straight tape line. If i sprayed everything apart a door adjustment might through off either color. However if it was one color then i would spray most panels separate, remember Big Red. Quote Link to comment

the510keeper Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Back to work says Victory these fuckin cars need paint, then my bud Dave Pare comes over to help and asks whats to much. Whats to much for what some one is paying for a paint job where is the line. I replied i don't seem to have a line, cause some of these projects need to go. And we r still trying to make things better. Blocking, this is my complete job to block the car to make sure it is straight. Vic got started on it first while I was painting a house. Once I came home I continued. Had to reprime the doors, and other spots on the car and hood. Quote Link to comment
