ABodyBetty's new baby comes home!!!
Good day today.
Front & back glass in. (Easier said than done)
80% Bodywork done
Primed
Need to seal with color. It's getting cold and rain moving in. Mid 50's next week and might not get warm enough to paint large panels. Main objective was to throw a qt at it concentraiting on the hood, trunk deck, 4 doors, anything else that would cover with rest of paint.
See pics.
Now the body work done so far is sealed for winter. I'll be able to repair & paint 1 panel at a time inside the tiny garage. The panel between the back glass and trunk is split in half right now with the 2 colors as well as cowl.
Reason being; Tape would pull new top paint off and did below back glass but later that will be lt. grn. same as cowl. This will give me time to sand out the cowl vent 1 hole at a time, and I couldn't tape up to gasket yet due to sealer still wet on front & back glass and even getting on me and mask material!!! I hate rushing stuff!! This should be fun not a magic act!!!:toothy10:
Painted till past dark again and have no idea what it looks like. Ran it into garage and shut the door real quick!!!
I guess you guys will see it when I do tomarrow. Keep in mind it's just a base color coat. Think of it as colored primer. Still alot of body work to do, and will be sanding some of the new paint to do it too!
Have a great evening everyone & see ya in 24 hours!!:cheers:
