My restoration 73 duster

[R BEE]

Ok so all the sanding of the day is completed . Now I masked of the area that needed to be primed.

And last thing of the day re-prime the sanded areas. I use RM epoxy primer which has a 4 to 1 primer to hardner mix.covers well and fills well.

All for today hope to get back on it soon

That engine sounds very nice , cutouts are awesome , great job, nice build.I see you did not use the old steering wheel , Might be interested if price is right, but not sure where you are in the u.s , i am in Canada my dart sport has the same b5 interior .

[R BEE]

wet sanding trunk got a little dirt

 

[R BEE]

Unmasked then masked then sprayed Matt.
Matt is a little tricky First spay the black base with a 1 to 1 paint and reducer at 25- 30 psi. Then mix the matt 7parts to 4 parts clear then 1 part hardner 1 part reducer and spray at 40 psi. I will unmask in the next couple days and click a couple pictures.

Been subscribed since the start and pop in every once in awhile to see the progress. Looks great!. Nothing like bringing an old mopar back to life!.

One question though. Hard telling if it's just the picture or what.... But is the black more flat like a black primer rather than a matte/satin finish?.

Even so it looks great. Going to look even better when it's sitting on a set of wheels and tires!. Good job!
