5 days went quick pool opened Saturday , 5 hours Sunday retrieving the car . A few hours on Monday getting it running , Time with Momma on Tuesday and Wednesday . Geez 2 more weeks to go for this again . Hopefully won't be as busy .

Falcon hope yours does better of course it usually does .

Well got some good time in the garage yesterday . Parts have been ready so I filled a cup and went to work .

Started to paint and cut in the ares that will be covered by the Fender extensions and the Quarter extensions .

Long over do so color should be soon after a good outside cleaning and weather cools down with no humidity .







Cut the backs in of the pieces that were not painted at factory .

Great color Bobby! Looks like your attention to detail is top notch too!

I like that blue, Bobby!!! Is that the blue Ford used back then or just close???? Had a '68 with a similar color......

Funny thing you say that Dave my 68 was almost the same too!

"......Great color Bobby!...."

".....I like that blue, Bobby!!!...."

I have to agree! Very good choice for that car.

Looking good, and awesome paint work! I hear you on the cleaning and humidity. I try to make sure conditions are as good as they can be and everything is as clean as I can get it before I sparay. The stuff costs too dang much to have to buy it again.

Thanks guys the color is actually the factory mix Alcapulco Blue Iridescent , I had the color change to BC/CC to do the complete car in . I shot the floors and all the cut in in Centari .

I have to get it out to wash and color the body now . The 12 hour work days slow me up but the days I get off 5 in a row every other week help me do some .

I also did this with a HF 43430 Purple HVLP . I love the way it shots and applies material . My Binks and Sharp and Devilbis are hanging up . I bought 2 for $19.95 each on line a year or so back , one for color one for clear . Will see the final with these 2 soon and rate them for the home guy DIY .

Oh yeah and some serious garage cleaning . Blowing it out for a few weeks , washing the floor really good . Then the day of setting up my home made down draft booth . Oh and the good trick of hanging garbage bags they are full of static electricity and dust sticks to them like a magnet .

Never heard of that one Bobby!! How's it working for you?

That 'Stang is gonna look AWESOME!!!!
Congrats!!

The garbage bag trick sounds like a great idea!

Mike this will be the first time for me , a few people I have known did do it and they say it works great . For the air born particles .

I have a large heavy roll of the plastic for covering the wall and and stuff . It pulls dust when I unwrap it to hang up .

It sounds like it should work.. I wonder how long it (the plastic) holds the charge? When I first read your post about using the plastic bags I started thinking about those ionizing fans that are meant to atract dust, pollen etc.. It seems like a great idea for us DIY painters.

Wet paint might stick to the plates on the ionizer ruining them. Garbage gags are a great idea, plus you can still use them when your done for their original purpose
