Made some progress on the old Zephyr.. I blasted for many hours yesterday.. Inside the fenders, tops of the fenders, fender aprons, rear wheel tubs, rocker/quarter area,inner door lip blah blah blah….
Epoxy today over bare metal, then if I can make the time to get it all taped up, then it will get 3 wet coats of Black G2

BK I didn’t know you were working right out of your garage? Do you paint in there too?
That stuff looks really course, a heck of a lot courser than the 60 grit sand I use.
After yesturday I’m looking at moving were I blast all together, Want to keep it away from the shop.
I am sick of it getting inside the shop, Seams I blast for an hour or two and clean up the stuff for several weeks after words.
My Blaster blew a hole in the main hose to the dead man yesturday while it was setting unattended blew about 40 lbs of sand every were before I caught it, What a mess.Yeah Doright, about 3 years ago my wife and I moved to where we live now.. At my old place I had a nice garage/shop out back.. It was as big as the house 😛 Our home now is 3 times the size of our old one if you count the walk out basement, unfortunately though there is no shop here.. I had saved about $11,000 to start a building, but being laid off over half the year the last 2 years, we went thru that building fund fast..
With the economy as it is, and with me having 3 girls and momma wants more, I dont think I will get a building anytime soon.. Plus on top of all that , we acquired a large amount of money on credit cards.. It was not by choice, it was the only way we could buy formula and diapers at times.. Soooo when all that debt is paid off as well as when my job gets more stable, I will once again start a building fund :blink:
I cant tell you the amount of times I have told my wife I wish I had never let her talk me into buying this stupid place.. Its a nice home, but I was happier where i was at before with my garage/shop.. since I spend soooo much time out there as it is, it is far more important to me than the acutal home :S
Now more important things.. I got er all taped up today B)
ready for prime… man I am behind on this one :blush:

I know what your going threw not having your shop I had fits till I got mine built I’m still behind from going with out one and then this wrist deal slowed me down again but now I am up and going again wrist sucks worse now than before but I am using it. 🙁
I am going to try to start building a second shop behind my house this next year its going to be bigger! :woohoo:
I am hoping that when I get my 57 done and sold it will pay for most of it. I will be doing most all the labor my self.
I built my current shop my self I had very little help It’s better that way.
Hey about the building fund you will never regret what you do for your family! and with the credit cards well its only money! You will just have to paint a few more! by the way that’s why I dont have those things too Easy to use ever wonder how you did it before with out them well you did, just you came up with another way is all.
I hate the things my employer wants me to get one for travel I keep telling him well give me a company card then, They wont.
And I ain’t getting no Credit card either! I hate em! I had a few before it was ok except using it over board occaisionaly to buy car junk and then they raised my interest rates for no reason at all??? so I paid them off and cut em up asap! :angry:
It’s like now I would have a bunch of Paint supplies and car parts here if I did have one or two. I am trying to stick with just my House and car payment that’s all. If things get worse with my arm again who knows?
I
You dont sand the door jambs any more than that? as compared to the body it doesn’t even look like you hit them at all?
Nice masking job!Jambs had not been scuffed up yet.. I wanted to get it taped up since scuffing the jambs only takes 20 minutes or so including the clean up… Good eye, they are not touched in those photo’s;)
If this were a show car they would get sanded, not scuffed, with lots of blocking.. This car, the owner is only paying me for a exterior paint job, and blasting lower door section and deck lid.. the rest is on me.. I think she will be more than happy.. after all she was not concerned about those nasty jambs when she brought the car 🙂
Update.. Put the poly on tonight.. Another hectic week around here… every kid went to the doc and we rung up a $265 medical bill this week :angry:
Plan on shooting the decklid and fenders in poly tomorrow if my kids can stay well and my wife leave me alone :blink:
2 coats of G2 ( black ) un reduced sprayed thru a 2.0 conventional gravity feed

She’s gonna dig it for sure! That matte black looks good. It’s very trendy lately!
you even G2’d the jambs :ohmy: you must be a sucker for sanding :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: a little epoxy and some paint would have done it for me 😉
Dinger, those jambs looked sooooo bad, I only shot one coat of G2 in them, but they needed a little filler brotha 😉 .. The body got 2 coats.. I will sand the jambs with some 400 and shoot a coat of sealer over them before spraying the paint in there B)
looks like ya got it going your way;) 😉 looking forward ta seeing the finished pics
Good job Burger King, I mean Bondking.
