1972 Duster, 340/4, black on black (the endgame)
Off for Martin Luther the King day Monday, so I have some extended time to work on the beasty. Had to make the biweekly shopping trip to Reno today so I didn't get to it until about 6 tonight.
Got the guidecoat on:
The guy who owns one of the two collision shops in town lent me a couple of his longboards-one hard and one flexible. It'll make short work of that Featherfill...
Also primed and painted six racks of bit pieces. Five racks of black parts:
And one of silver:
And that's about the last of the small stuff. I still have to get the rear end housing shortened and the lower control arms beefed up and those will get blasted and painted silver. I found that I have one slant 6 and one V-8 torsion bar so I have to figure out which is which again and replace the odd one. And I have to blast and paint all the interior bits-the panels between the back glass and quarter windows, the dash, etc. Then I'll paint those semi-gloss black when I paint the inner doors. And I also hit the K-Frame with the blaster Thursday. For a couple minutes. She's garbage. I could push the car around on it's wheels with the thing but the leg under the steering box is almost completely rotted away so it'll never see the road again.
I'll be blocking primer for the next few days. Hope to get it final primed Monday :thumrigh:
