The C10 deal fell through, the seller backed out when I called to see when I could pick it up. We had agreed on a price and verbally bought it last week but it was too muddy to get the truck and trailer in his yard to load it. I guess a handshake doesn't mean much anymore...
The guy I bought the blue parts car from is really interested in buying the 'vert when I'm finished with it, but he would rather have it with the current paint, so I decided to leave it "as-is" and just color match the one fender and fix/blend a few areas that need repairing. I started scuffing the paint today to prep it for clear, which I'll flatten 10-15%.
It'll look like this now.
I first wetsanded and buffed a spot to be scanned for a color match.
After washing all the dust off you can see how oxidized the paint was.
Used a red scuff pad and dish detergent to clean off the dead paint and get to a good base to clear over.
Quarter, fender, and hood scuffed.
I also delivered the frame and suspension parts to the powdercoater yesterday. I probably should buy another truck...
I also ordered a ton of parts and almost all of the interior yesterday.
