Re: slammed 57
Well,the dash is going to need another round or two of 2k primer as you can see some of the low spots, I been making these small sanding blocks to match the contour and hard to reach places when they come upon, I also put together some door stands so I can hammer + dolly, bodywork and prime and paint etc..... makes things a little easier

Re: slammed 57
Looking good! I finally put a coat of primer on my 57 this week. Now I’ll be sanding for a while until I get it straight!

Re: slammed 57
Great progress…it’s coming along. I’m hoping to start laying mud soon myself. Not my favorite step in the project

Re: slammed 57
It's looking good. All the sanding makes the finished product in the end. What are you using for poly? Steve

Re: slammed 57
nice and straight, great work.
when i do bodywork I use wax and grease remover, applied liberally, to check the straightness of the bodywork as i go. what color do you plan to spray? gloss, semi gloss, flat sheen? |

Re: slammed 57
will you lay down some sealer before paint in case of incompatabilities between manufacturers?

Re: slammed 57
Yes sir.. the base will lay down better and the seal helps for better adhesion with chips from road debris... from what Iam told

Re: slammed 57
Body work is the most time consuming part I think! Looking great by the way.

Re: slammed 57
Well I sprayed some smaller parts to get my gun adjustments dialed in( I really like this SPI base and clear) I put on 6 coats of clear to give me a little wiggle room for when I cut and buff. Hopefully if all goes well I’ll get the front fenders sprayed this week.
