    project 73 Challenger
    « on: October 25, 2006 - 05:22:02 PM »
    Well I finaly got the shop done. Heat,compressed air and electricity. Need some more lighting. Anyway I took all the sheetmetal back off after having it in storage for awhile while I moved and changed jobs.
    I already did all the metal replacement work so now starts the body and paint. I bought some Omni black epoxy, Rage gold, and Slick sand poly primer. Also two 100 lbs bags of sand blast for the k frame rear end and suspension components. Ill keep this post going for anyone that wants to watch it go from this too......

    Looks like good progress,one thing though watch out for Rage Gold,if when you are cutting it there seems to be alot of pinholes in the surface remove all of it and go to Rage Extream. The gold  has had some problems with trapped gases under the surface that will work there way to the top after paint. Just a heads up. The extream is a nice and easy to work with product.

    I got the doors trunck and hood stripped to bare metal. lightly coated with black epoxy and then polyester primer. A put a light guide coat and well as can be seen in the pics it will take some work to get all the little dents out. At least its a start.  http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/reflections7/startstrip002.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v313/reflections7/startstrip003.jpg
