]cue the springsteen
"born to run" lol
And so began .. after a quick etching block sand and a wipe down i went for it with 4 passes of the ss urethane econo paint from my local carquest..
and it hung nice too
Got a pretty even flow on the shoulder without a ton of peel...
made sure to get some good build in the hatch valley and up around the A pillar
Made the mistake of using my tack rag too much and got some junk in the hood... "rookie move man" you say, it's true it's true..... wait is that a pile of dirt over there? no..couldn't be...
overall i think its ok, i think a few more projects (done properly) and a booth...and i maybe getting somewhere
I’ve shot lots of Five Star products over the years.
You’re right, it’s cheaper. I’ve always had it turn out nice though.
Nice job

Dave could use house paint on a car and make it look good

Wow thanks Dave seen your work on here doby and robbyI’ve shot lots of Five Star products over the years.

That totally makes my day man...
lol i believe it, seeing as i'm a house painter
could throw a lil baseboard for the door mouldings....maybe a crown moulding ground effects kit.... 
So I pulled all my masking and threw the fenders on
Threw on the sail panels and the tail lights...
Moved her out of the danger zone and threw on the cowl grill, turn signals and the t-tops
Just look at that dang rad support!
put it to sleep so as to not overspray her and got setup for the nitty gritty on the rest of the panels...

The doors were in a sorry state indeed
looks like a lightweight no prime bondo job was done many moons ago
passenger door was a little more solid
started buzzing her down...
thought i'd patch'em up for now, maybe one day i'll find a nice cherry set somewhere

Looks good man! I hope your going to address the frame rails and floor soon. I hate to see what they look like if the doors look like that. I had a notch that was rusting out. I hope it’s not too bad.
Exactly!

It does look good though!! I’ve always like the looks of the 86GT’s. Wish I had the time to do what your doing Matt.
thanks! yeah i'm definitely going over the whole car eventually, i want it at minimum structurally sound for sure. Fortunately somebody cared enough to throw full length sfc's on it and oiled it inside and out of the shell a while ago i think that pretty much saved it.
