    Paint a '30's car

     



    THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT THREAD -- JUST A STATEMENT OF FRUSTRATION
    I had no clue that there were so many separate pieces to paint on a full fendered '31 Model A roadster until it came time to prime this beast. There are by rough count, 26+ pieces that are in need of individual attention. Since very few are straight, flat or easy to hold, individual items need painting frames. This for a pro body shop might not present a problem, but in my 2 car garage, though it is a larger '70s vintage, it fills it up and leaves little room to maneuver. A partial listing of these indiviual parts:

    Body - stripped
    Hood - 4 pieces
    Doors - 2
    Door hinges - 4
    Dash
    Trunk lid
    Fenders - 4
    Splash shields - 2
    Running boards - 2
    '32 Grille shell
    '32 Gas tank
    Frame horn covers - 2
    Body belt(holds back of cowl cover down)
    Cowl cover
    Steering column

    Makes me almost wish for something simple - say a Mustang or Camaro.

    These are some of my frames - glad I have a couple of woodworking tools:
