Nope. Picked it up as a roller that had been converted to an auto.Do you not have the original drivetrain to the car?
Thanks man! It was great to have you down!I appreciate the passion you put into all your builds. They are all fun to follow. I’m glad I got to see it in person.
Thanks! It will be a 351 based vortech supercharged with a Tremec 3550 just like it came with. I have a dart 408 built for it but id like one out of another S-351Damn, I can only hope my car is even close to this shine when I repaint it. I've gained a new appreciation for all the hard work you've done since I've been learning body work and paint on my own. I'm curious, what are your plans for the drivetrain?
Lol! Thanks! I actually dont. We use that stuff in powdercoat cleanup but the empties make good seats for me.Comical that you use “economy thinner” on these “nowhere near economy” paint jobs!
Very nice, as always!
I need to call Vegas to see what the odds are on that, as I'm pretty sure I'll take that bet.Getting it back together for the last time
Thanks! This may be the best one yetLooking good!
Another candidate for the museum of automotive paint perfection!
I knew I would get some doubt on that but barring some type of unforeseen damage in the future I need to fix. This is it!!I need to call Vegas to see what the odds are on that, as I'm pretty sure I'll take that bet.
All my clear sanding blocks I’ve made here. Nobody makes any Im satisfied with. But most of mine fit in my hand so I can control them better. I dont think I’ve ever sanded thru the paint. Tape the body line and hard edges and lines and dont sand. Those will burn thru faster than anything elseBeen meaning to ask, what sanding blocks do you use when sanding the clear? Do you find you mainly use one or two for the whole car? The only car I'm likely to paint and sand is my own Mustang, so I'm reluctant to buy a whole set of sanding blocks if I'll only need two or three.
I started out sanding my rear quarter panel using just a flat pad, figuring it would flex over the curves. But I kept blowing through the paint around the sharper curves. I ended up cutting up a pad so it would flex around the curves, and it worked out a lot better.
With 8 coats of clear, I daresay you've never sanded through them! I've learned the hard way that it's really easy to take too much paint off when sanding & polishing. And thanks for the excellent tip - I would not have thought to tape the hard edges to keep from sanding across them.All my clear sanding blocks I’ve made here. Nobody makes any Im satisfied with.
