Anyone have any suggestions on how to wet sand and polish the car now? I’m referring to specific compounds as well as grits of paper to use?

Is it okay to remove the k frame and torsion bars out and leave my car on jacks for a month or two prior to doing the new HDK swap? Will it warp the body by taking the structural bracing out?

Unwrapped her this afternoon....

Some more sanding and bondo, then laid down 2 more base coats, then 3 coats of clear coat. Done!

I like to learn things the hard way and compound my problems as I go.

3 coats of base coat done. Have a few drips to take care of and then I’ll clear it. I’m pretty happy overall with the rattle cans!

Progress...

Thank you for the information. I am going to buy the HDK kit after seeing all the benefits of the swap.

Email sent.

i am looking into the PST K-frame replacement HDK Front end suspension upgrade kit. Has anyone on here installed this? If so, please give me the good the bad and the ugly..... My plan was to install this kit in my 68’ barracuda. Looks pretty straight forward online BUT as everyone knows...

Thanks for the positive thoughts. I won’t lie, the paint job is definitely not perfect, however once I am done I will he slightly more experienced as far as paint and body.

I’m gettin there. By no means is this perfect. There will be light spots and runs but I’ll be okay with it knowing that I know what’s underneath it all.

First coat of blue in the engine bay. Not perfect but I’m happy with how it’s shaping up!
