It was a good day, put in like 8 hours or so, got all the primer sanded, un-masked and washed the car, sanded and primed the tailights and sanded all the little parts that will get painted along with the car, all in all alot of progress! Tomoroww I spray some of the jambs, then Saturday spray the car. Going smooth so far.

Here is a shot of all the parts that I paint along with the car, all the body side mouldings as well as some mouldings you coupe guys dont have. You can see a mold for a 1934? Duece Coupe, like the one in American Graffiti for the guy who sells 1/4 scale RC cars.

A pic of the tailights prepped for a few coats of Epoxy. On a black car they come out nice and the need to change them to S5 lights isnt as great, you can see that mold again in the backround, lol.

no its staying black, it will be a darker black then stock though. Stock black looks a bit too brown in the bright sunlight for my tastes, I prefer deeper blacks, I make a custom black of my own creation. :smirk:

Stop now and I'll give you $3K for it! That thing primered looks better already than my red (ok, maybe orange) 86.



Good job.
