Are you going to do a two tone?

Yes it is factory 1972 medium blue. See post # 879.

Oops, sorry about that. Thought I had read the whole thread, but I missed that along the way.

Dinos63 · 03-21-2011, 01:33 AM

wow perrrrfect!!

dougminton · 03-21-2011, 07:41 AM

I like the color. It's gonna look sweet.

**67cheby** · 03-21-2011, 11:04 AM

HOLY SMOKES...nice work , man you are SMOKING this very large BUILD !!!

thor · 03-21-2011, 12:21 PM

Looks sweet!

Altec · 03-21-2011, 03:34 PM

Just got done catching up on this. Must say, sweet build! What pulled me in was the title! Love that movie! Then again, any movie with Marty Feldman is a blast...

Question if you don't mind. Did you ever figure out a good oxide removal? I am in the same boat with my accessory brackets that I'm using on my 350. I pulled them off a '06 and one got left outside... I'm thinking I'm gonna break down and sand blast them, and depending on how it looks from there decide on if I'm going to paint them.

Also, good Eastwood pimping! You should really be sponsored! I now know what I'm gonna use for sound deadening on my square.

Thanks. I never did find a chemical to remove the oxidation on the aluminum, Sand/bead blast would do the trick.

I took some better daylight pictures when we moved outside to work. I'm trying to do all my sanding outside the paint booth to cut down on trash in the paint. I am also rushing to beat the pollen tsunami that is going to hit any day now.

drewskiren · 03-21-2011, 05:55 PM

I sanded down all the insides of the hood, fenders, and doors, readying for edging them in tonight. I was about to go ahead and paint it all, but then I realized I would be done for the day and it is only 4 o'clock. Can't waste precious time like that!!! - so I started the final blocking on those parts. I have sprayed them all with a polyester high build primer that is so thick it is almost like spray-able bondo. It sands really well and with a long block like this pictured is the key to getting ultra flat panels. Ultra flat panels allow for ultra flat paint which is the path towards a mirror finish. Here I am trying to get out all the orange peel texture and find any blem/chips. Last pic - I found one. Add more primer and block this spot again.

It's really all just trick photography.

it looks purdy in the sunlight. Blue always looks good in bright sunlight

Altec · 03-21-2011, 06:18 PM

That paint looks like it would taste good. Have you tried licking it Drew?

I got some glass media I may try. I can let you know my results if you want.

JasonBird · 03-21-2011, 07:41 PM

that color of blue is really nice. looking good as usual.

drewskiren · 03-21-2011, 11:13 PM

I think our patient is suffering from poor circulation, he keeps getting blue-er and blue-er.

Reminds me of when I was working as a lifeguard during the summer...until that blue kid got me fired

JK

Check around with one of your electrician contacts (I'm sure you have them being in the building industry) and see if one can come over and help you out. Some of them really like doing it (crazy, huh) and will help for free or cheap. I had a guy offer to help on my last project but I got it figured out myself before he was available....

drewskiren · 03-22-2011, 09:59 AM

I just noticed something in one of the pictures I posted. It's a perfect example of orange peel/dry spray. Notice the light reflection on the door bottom is really clear and glassy, but that same light reflection is fuzzy to the left. I knew that the door panel covers this area, so I hadn't really spent much time sanding the primer well or worrying while I was spraying what it was looking like. I was concentrating on the lower part of the door that shows and didn't even look up to see I needed a much wetter pass here. Since it is covered it won't matter, but it just shows how drastically different the paint can turn out just by trying, watching, practicing.
