I pulled Her wheels and tires and she now has steel support.
Block sanding with 150 grit sure leaves a lot of dust.
But sand we must to make more dust
So the shop vac has something to do.
By raising the starboard side it makes it easer to reachGot to sand those highs and lows to get that perfect shine
From back to front the sanding goes on and onBlow off the dust, wash down the side, and start all over again.
The front and back bumpers are next to go.But I don't know where to put em.
The trunk lid is being supported by two steel sawHorses and it's a work in progress.
The port side will get the same treatment as the Starboard side and when ever thing is the same
It's blow off the dust, wash down the whole thing
It's blow off the dust, wash down the whole thing
And mask what you don't want paint on.
PAINT !!! So soon ?? NO not yet, the princess gets a Guide coat of really thinned out black paint.
Lightly dusted over the whole surface.
Then sanding with 400 grit wet paper and using the Guide coat as a reference to tell what's been sanded
And what still needs sanding.
And this is what's going on in Richard's man cave . More to come, after the 150 grit sanding is finished.
Enjoy the rest of the pictures.
Next: Applying the guide coat!! Can't wait ???? Later
