Matt's Humble Fox

[HumbleFox'86GT]

So I decided to go the route of lacquer putty to skim the whole nose pretty much,

while that was drying up i pounded a couple layers of epoxy into the door cavities...

then i hit the spoiler...

and then I hit the nose and bumper

You must have all the time in the world Matt. You should fly down to Abq and help me with my car! It’s all in the prep!!

lol thanks man! I guess it seems that way ! I did alot of work over a few weeks and i took pictures of everything and i'm still cataloging it all, i should have done better prep though man i know she's a short hair and panel bond queen but i'm ok with it. i'm learning to weld now so one day i can give a car the proper ground up restoration i'm coming to understand!

After letting the primer cure up I hit everything with short strand to give them a little strength

i put a straight edge on the door panel and clamped it together see if the filler will hold maybe...

started grinding down the hatch and found some weak spots... surprise! lol

 

[HumbleFox'86GT]

Once i got all the prep done on the panels and let the primer set up i started spraying stuff out

The quality of the photos is just stellar

the spoiler came out pretty good..

and the inner door panel repairs held in nice for some good mil thickness on there...

The bumper covers

I'm impressed with how good that ss paint is turning out. What gun are you spraying with?

Thanks! Yeah it’s pretty easy to work with, i picked up a devilbiss starting line gravity feed hvlp kit, for a couple hundred on ebay, came with a couple needles and a touch up gun , it’s pretty good for the price I think...

That seems like a pretty good deal. 1.3 tip? I tested a Devilbiss gun for a bit before deciding to go with a couple of Iwatta brand guns. I spray waterborne paint at work. A coworker of mine uses a Devilbiss gun every day though and it seems like a good quality option.

Yeah 1.3 , and a 1.6 for higher builds, i like it, its entry level but thats all I could spring for. they have a finishline”kit which looked good but it is quite a bit more. But im not spraying alot either so.

Do you have a full-time translator?


I have to change that smiley back. This one has no character.

Nothing wrong with that. Looking forward to seeing the finished project.

[HumbleFox'86GT]

My cold eh”ir intake makes more hp up here tooo eh? Harhar

 

[HumbleFox'86GT]

So i started prepping the hatch and such...

The doors had some pretty bad wow spots...

and then i was dumb and forgot to take pictures of spraying the doors and hatch ...so i started re-assembling the shell..

heres hatch and spoiler, tailights in..

I did a little test panel for the stripping which i think i like in gloss black, should look sharp

 

[BlakeusMaximus]

Looks good, but those should be semi-gloss man.
