Thanks.
You know, blocking the primmer is more stressfull than anything I have done so far...is really shows all the flaws. I probably have 15 to 20 hours if not more into just blocking, fixing things, re primming and blocking again and I'm not done yet. Probably only a few more hours if I don't run into anything else. All I have left to do is the passenger side rear quarter, both doors and the wing....getting close

i know all about blocking primer it Is very stressfull like you said. I have to do it all day long at work i work in a paint shop (unfortunateley a GM paint shop). Plus i have been blocking on my mustang for the past couple of months. i have been working on mine for about a year and a half or better now. hopefully mine will be flawless. or a close to flawless as i can get it. Keep up the good work and post some more pictures when you get her all trimeed out!

Thanks! I think we are going to try and spray the door jambs, under hood, inside of doors and the hatch area this weekend with color. After that we are going to reassemble it, then wet sand the primer for the paint....I talked to my painter and told him the first week of May to have it all sprayed and he said it sounds good...now I just have to get it done by then....might be the second week if things go like they have been.

Got the inside all painted black, got everything scuffed, masked and sprayed and I love it. Tell me what you guys think of it so far.

The paint was great, it covered in 2 coats, the clear looks awesome. I got it from my local body shop...just the brand they spray. I think it is Sikins or something like that....I can look if you want me to. The base was about $140 per quart, and the clear was around $120 for the kit gallon, sealer...not sure yet, my painer just gave it to me for now, and the primmer was around $100 for a kit gallon. I guess it is pretty good stuff.

Next week monday it will go to the booth. I just have to put it back together. I got the engine back together tonight and got it running. Next I will put the hinges back on the doors, put the latches and strikers on, get the hood hinges and latch back on, and the hatch hinges and latch on. This weekend my cousin is coming over to help put the hood, doors, and hood on. I am pretty pumped it see it coming to an end. Now I just have to remember how it all goes back together
