Hot Rods Nature Abhors a Vacuum, Or, The Hemi A Roadster fills a void.

Wet sanding outside in Michigan in December... you win!

 

I did the FeatherFill dry with 80, then 120. Then two double wet coats of 2K, DA with 220, then I blocked it with 220 wet. It looks laser straight, I found a couple spots that’ll be a little icing (some sanding scratches down on the Botox the rear pan), I’ll hit those this afternoon and wet coat of 2K tomorrow. Then I’ll guide coat it, 36o then 499 wet. I’d like to get it in color this week and set the body back on.

 

It’s 50 yet outside! Nice winter weather!

 

Yer an animal! I am lookin like a slacker in comparison.

 

Brian makes a lot of look like slackers, and truth be told some of us are!

 

Now, don't go on and gimme a big head! I'm forcing myself to work on it, wet sanding all of a sudden has become an onerous chore. I used to think it was fun, those days are gone...

 

I’m done priming this thing.

 

Who can resist mocking up shiny bits against fresh paint?

 

This’ll do.

 

What color white is that?

 

Smooth as a baby’s bottom.

 

Nice! Color tomorrow? Will it be the same blue as the frame?

 

I have a days worth of cleaning and temporary paint boot to make, so maybe next week. Otherwise it’ll set until spring, we have winter activity planned.

 

Plus, my fingers hurt…

 

But,, You got another hand...

 

fingerprints sanded off

 

Do you ever sleep ?

 

Thought of the same thing,,,,tell us where you get all the energy from

 

I have periods where I seem to have a deep reserve of pent up sexual energy, which, for my wife's well being, I turn into other activities. Because, you know, I'm thoughtful that way...

 

Brian, the roadster looks great!
Please tell us about your painting setup;

• Compressor, gun, etc.
• Do you just spray in the garage without any kind of homemade booth or?
• What kind of paint?

 

You're as ADHD as I am. That's what you are.

 

You win the internet today for that quip you thoughtful old devil you. I laughed so much so hard I started choking.

 

So that`s why I not get anything done with my cars

 

Wow- that was pretty thorough.
Thanks, @flynbrian48 !

 

That other hand is reserved for other "tasks".... Like putting on another guide coat of course, c'mon what were you thinking?

 

Guess what Brian left hanging on the wall and didn’t get ready for color? As long as I was getting the grill shell prepped I did the gas tank and fixed a spot on the deck lid inner panel. My paint booth works great, judging by how black the furnace filter in the exhaust fan got.

 

Am I blue?

 

Nice shade of blue, Brian!
