believe it or not there will come a time when money dosent come first and love of the work is all that matters ...... I'm so glad the rat race is over for me,now I can concentrate on the important things.....like building cars and helping you guys.......and finding a second job for the old lady.....ooh,just kiddin....A women should be put on a pedistal..............so you can look up her dress

[atichargr]

I hear ya... but at this point I still have a large mortage so money is still important to me... and yes they should be on a pedistal or at least go up the ladder in front of you (so you can catch them if the slip) yeah right lol

[deadbodyman]

Hey ,Somebodies got to hold the ladder always be a gentleman and at least act like your scared of hights....women love weakness in tough guys.A chink in the armour.No ...... not a chinaman ...a flaw.....BTW,your paint booth thread was a big success.I learned something too.

[atichargr]

yeah my head hurts from learning... glad I could help others aswell.... although indirectly.. im going to go spary my guide coat (cheap 3 dollar flat white spray paint) and do some block sanding LOL I knew what a chink was lol... funny thing is people a little younger than me don't know the chinaman meaning which probably is a good thing... more death to the ugly racism

[deadbodyman]

agreed ...but if we cant laugh at ourselves and others what else is there?you gotta laugh or you'll go sane..I just found out I'm Irish too so...bring on the drinking jokes. LOL

[atichargr]

here is a very tasteless joke for ya.... what is the difference between a refrigerator and a *f*a*g????????? a refrigerator doesn't fart when you pull your meat out.... ewwwwww lol

[atichargr]

here a few pics of guide coat maybe put on a little to thick, and then some after block sanding the left half of the car... i started using 400 then found it wasn't cutting the mustard and ended up using 180 .. will i need to sand finer before the spi epoxy or is 180 scratches okay for the spi epoxy? is this looking okay?






had to come in drink a beer and shower I was changing colors... do I just go after the spots where the paint was not touched.. and try tap down the spots where I broke through to metal?

[atichargr]

Block sanding done!!!!! it is in pretty good shape... only a few dings, and a couple low spots, very shallow.. I will use the evercoat glaze on these spots correct.. then for the roof the evercoat gold, followed by the glaze correct. there are a couple little "pimples" like someone shot a bb gun from the inside of the car.. knocked down flush very easy with the body hammer... I did find a couple of welds from where the top was chopped 4.5 inches. on the inside of the window openings they are raised about 1mm or so should I grind these down or smooth out with glaze?

thanks

I would recommend grinding those welds down then smoothing with filler or glaze. Maybe DBM would recommend something else.

180 is perfect,if you can run your hand over the high spots and feel them then tap them down and putty them ,two coats should do it,as far as the lows look at it sideways when your wet sanding if you see a wave thats unexceptable...fill it.other than that your doing much better than I would have expected.it looks great!!!!

[deadbodyman]

just like cj said, grind and putty......that cars gonna be nice ,Simon. If your wife wants you to sell it for diapers....let me know.I hope she likes to ride in it at least ...my wife hates my cars,too loud.too fast,I'm too crazy,she has a million reasons

[atichargr]

LOL she likes all my cars.... she can't dive my mustangs since they are stick... the 29 is auto but she is scared she will "hurt it" so I don't have to worry there either.... thank you for the compliment... I told you I am one of those perfectionist kinda people... I want my shi* to be right. I'll sell the motorcycle for diapers... just thougth of one more question... I know I am full of them.... the door jams, inside of the doors, dash, window sills, and inside window frames, do I need to sand these with 180 or can I use a red pad on them?

thanks for all the help
simon

[atichargr]

okay I spread the first layer of body filler over my roof welds... what a mess LOL.... anyway.... I know to use a file to knock it down, then what grit paper should I use? 80 then glaze then sand the glaze with 180 like I did for the block sanding?
