She is all primed out.

[Zymurgy]

I had a good week. I got the sound deading material installed, finished prepping the body and got her primed. I was happy overall with my body work there are a couple areas that need some more attention, but not bad.

Now that I have a coat of primer down I can see any imperfections that I over looked. There were a couple of small dents that I didn’t notice and a drip under the hood that I thought I made, but was the original paint job.

Moving right along and looking good. I was there about five months ago. Once the paints laid on ...... Thats when the fun begins. Reinstalling all the jewlery.

No excuses for not seeing this car at Carlisle.

That is absolutely right. I know when it comes to that I'll find an hour here there during the week to run over to the shop. I ordered a buffer for my stainless trim. I bet you there's 100 feet trim I got 2 separate bids of $12 and $16 per foot ouch! With the right tool I know I can do it myself for about a tenth of the cost and have a new tool in the shop.

Nick if you had started with the car body that I started with I have a feeling you would be past me in progress. You are a braver man than I.

Beautiful work you're doing there! Is that the goal, Carlisle? Or sooner?

Which buffer did you order and what are you going to use for a polishing compound? I have miles of trim to polish also.

My goal is April 1st, it is usually the time I get the car out of winter storage. I believe I'm track for that even if I don't have everything completely together. It should be driveable with the interior and painting done.

Cunning plan. You can always claim to have us April-fooled if you're not finished by then.

I ordered it from Eastwood here is the link. http://www.eastwood.com/1-2-hp-buff-kit.html

I haven't received it yet, I just ordered it this weekend. I did a lot of searching before I bought from them. It got good reviews and the price was very good compared to other long shafted buffers. They also sell a $30 set that works with your drill and is designed to get into small areas. http://www.eastwood.com/stainless-steel-polishing-kit-14-pc-set.html

Yes if it becomes red with a white interior it might be an April fools joke.

Or if she becomes a '68
