Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

Tweet

Brian: We were just saying last night that yellow must be another tough color to get good, even coverage on. It is so non-hiding. Bet you really hated the work aspect more than the financial one, but you are right about money going up in smoke.

Brad: You could be right, the weather here has been different every night when I have been spraying. One night the rain has just ended, the next night it is dry. I even thought that maybe the mixed up batch settled as I was using it up, and all the pigment went to the bottom, and I shot that on as the last coat or two.

Bobby: Yeah, I think I am going to like the end result. Right now, I just want the painting to end so I can start on the final hookups and stuff. It really is only what I would call driver quality, not show quality by any means, but it should be at least bright. I also want to hear the engine fire for that first time. (how do I post sound on here? )

Brick: I was thinking about an all black interior, but last night Dan threw out the suggestion that an old time leather, sort of like oxblood, would go well with it. You know, like an old baseball glove, old roadster from the '40's kind of stuff. I have a guy who opened an upholstery shop right at the end of my row, so I am going to get some ideas from him when the time comes. I may be sitting on indian blankets if the price is too high. Might have to go back to work to afford seats.

Tom: Should I paint the floor jacks the same color as the jackstands, or a different color so that I can tell one from the other. I need all the help I can get, you know.


Thanks guys for the nice words and help.

Oh, I got the rear radius rods and front end remounted today, but forgot my camera. I'll post some pictures tomorrow. The color is much closer now that we resprayed it last night, close enough for me. Tomorrow I am going to do the brake shoes and all, and slip the drums back on. Then once I paint the wheels and remount the tires I will have a roller.
