Captainkirk's Duster project

Yup; it's OK to use brush-on Rust-Oleum in a garage in these sorta temps!
Trucked on out to check on the progress of the paint. Not only was it not tacky, it had dried to a rock-hard finish. And since the quart was almost empty, I quickly ran up to Ace and snagged another. Figured I'd touch up a few spots and once again ended up doing the other half of the second coat Down Under! At this point, I decided to follow the frame rails all the way up to the very front. They are frame rails, after all. Besides, you can't see them with the engine & headers installed, and they should take paint over them the same as the Rust Reformer would. So, I ended up doing even more than I expected to. Now the entire underside is a solid coat of gleaming Smoke Gray oil based paint. All this leaves is the trunk area and frame rails inside the forward fender wells. So....once that gets done, I will feel quite comfortable letting it sit over winter without undercoating; the oil-based Rust-Oleum should seal it well enough until spring. And that would mean a successful completion of Phase One!:blob:
