499 Demon
Ok, I've been back at it for the past few weeks.
A buddy of mine said that it would be very smart to at the very least get the engine compartment and the door jams in whatever color I was going to eventually paint the car. At the moment I wasn't too keen on that idea but now I see that he was right. So first I had to decide on a color for the car. I've always been a big fan of orange so I settled on 1969 Dodge orange. Apparently they didn't have to cool names for colors that year.
Now came the next dilemma. I can get by shooting primer but I've never shot any kind of color before. So I decided to try some of the 2K aerosol paint.
I found a place called 66 auto color. They hooked me up with 3 cans of 2 part paint. I have to say that I'm impressed with how it came out. The color is just right and the finish is pretty darn nice. And it's rock hard too.
After I painted the engine bay I finished up the chassis with rust bullet and their chassis black.
So today my wife and I began to actually start to assemble the Demon!! We decided to install something really simple as the very first part so we picked the K member. We are finally bolting on some parts and with any luck at all we'll have it on wheels in a few days.
Here's some pictures....................Enjoy..Ted
