But you're sooo good at it!
Eating the elephant....
That looks gooooood
Thanks! Pretty happy with how itc coming considering how everything was damaged when i started. That hood came out nice! Both fenders have minimal filler (less than before, and straighter than before(. Same with the quarters.
The wetsanding and washing is the only way i can really check my progress, and at this stage, im spot on where i want to be!
i had a car in primer for so long i went ahead and painted it a wet cement gray...

Surrounded by a sea of greyscale all day while driving for work, i can't bring myself to do it. Its why it's not gunmetal/charcoal grey. Great looking color, like it, but....
In reply to Dusterbd13 :
I've seen an NB that was painted a deep, non-metallic gray. It was almost the same colour as some storage tanks we had where I worked, but nice and shiny....it looked gorgeous. Kind of old school ,from the days before metallic paint became mainstream.
Like this blue-gray sorta.....but a bit darker.

Some day I'll do a Duster-style driveway/garage paint job. Looks awesome, keep it up!
In reply to AxeHealey :
Do as much as possible outside. Its what I do. Keeps the mess down.
And make sure to keep the garage doors closed so the dust doesn't blow back in.
engine bay prepped for seam sealer. This is a huge milestone in paint readiness.
Time to make pretty seam sealer, something I've never successfully done before. Im watching YouTube videos and reading old posts about mineral spirits, cloves, brushes and tape. Going to practice ob hidden seams first to make sure i have the flow down before i do the ones i care about.
test run went well enough.
Now for the important part.
the girls helped. Made it go quick and easy.
they dont know this is our Christmas card picture this year....
and done. Ill sand down the rough spots in a few days when it cures, and should look decent under paint. Not factory, but good enough....
