1969 DART CUSTOM FULL RESTORATION
I spent 5 hours Thursday night removing the rust from the pitted areas. Today I cleaned the roof off, applied epoxy to the pitted areas then did the body work. I wanted to get some primer on the roof and drivers side before things started to surface rust due to the humidity so I had a buddy swing by and lay down two coats of the best aviation grade epoxy/high build primer out there. The stuff will flow out over night and leaves a gloss finish. It's expensive at $280/gal with activator but is well worth it in the end.
At this point I just have to finish up the passenger side quarter panel, the front a pillars, cowl, hood and trunk lid and it'll be ready to block, reprime then wet block! Hoping to have it in final primer and block by the end of the month!
