Ha! Yeah, that's about how I feel Darrel!

Rear valance workout day along with a couple areas I had to rework. Sometimes, I just wish I could look the other way when it comes to some things. But I can't, so back out comes the filler, 180, 220, then 320. If I ran a fulltime body gig my motto would be "We're not happy until you're not happy"

So am I happy? Sort of. But it's getting closer and closer! I don't think the gaps could get any better on the rear valance. Just a tad more to do on that rear body line. This thing was removed and reinstalled about 5 times today. It will be painted off the car so I want fitment perfect just like the front is. Or I could fit it after paint since that would make a real entertaining read!

Bumper fitment and prep later this week. Tomorrow I'll get the rest of the car to 320 again, wash, then go over with the pencil and light to find all the other crap I missed

Cheers
Dave

Washed the car, spot primed some areas, fixed a few other areas. Another 320 block tomorrow followed by 400 wet, then another wash. Loaded up the top with some wax/degreaser and happy with the reflection of those shop lights on the roof!

But of course there's a set back. And that would be the elastomeric bumper paint additive not flexing. My paint supply guy says I may have gotten either a bad can or one that's way old. Either way, I'm headed to the shop tomorrow to get base and another can of the flex agent. Round two on the bumpers.... ugh.

It's just about ready and of course everywhere I look I see something I missed. Out comes the pencil and the shop light for the final round. Then it'll go onto the rotisserie in preps for purps!!

Cheers
Dave

400 wet, minor imperfections to fix, but she's ready for paint! Now it's back onto the twirler and I need to build another Jigasaurus for the valances to be painted off the car since they have to be removed to install the painted bumpers anyway. Along with that, the bumpers will be mounted on that contraption too. Last thing is the side mirrors. Paint early next month for sure then it's off to Steve so he can continue the thread until she's finished!

More to come....

Cheers
Dave

We all know it's getting closer when it goes back on the rotisserie! Once again, another round of "find the crater" featuring Mr. Pencil and Professor Shop Light. The blue tape lets me know where to use the glaze quickly since that stuff sets up in a nano-second! Is that hyphenated? No matter, after the pinhole fill, spot prime and then another rerun of everyone's favorite: Wet Sand with 320!

Now that this is done it's one more round of 400 wet then the painting begins. It'll be in stages like the Bee: undercarriage first, then the trunk/ engine bay/ interior, then exterior.

Stay tuned... more to come like "Where'd that hole come from? " and "It looked better in primer."

Cheers
Super Dave

I've got 2 questions. First, when you remove the rotisserie do you go back and paint the areas where it was bolted on? Second, what causes the pin holes?
