Car looks great Domingo. Everyone has a different take on how to do things; I think your underside treatment is cool and innovative. I would have applied the quarter panel treatment and interior sealer 1st, but....

I know one thing for sure: I LOVE fresh F8.....not sure why?

Great job, can you share how you achieved the slop look with the seam sealer?

Thanks




Just urethane sealer, I bought those tubes that you have to apply with an aplicator gun. I cut the tip the biggest I could, and really applied it on REAL THICK. Then I just bought a brush and cut it in small pieces (as big as a barbers brush) and I brushed and spread the sealer. Its better to use a brush that has stiff bristles.

The key hear is to do it fast and not overdo it, you want to brush and push the sealer right in the middle to make the sealer get into the seam and leave the edges of the sealer just spread out so the spread and habve a "round" oozed off look on the sides. You want to brush just once, max twice and be done with it.




Thanks for the info, I'm doing a 71RR V code right now, and I'm at that point of applying the sealer.

Hey Norm, also, when you spread the sealer over the primer...you will probably think you didnt do it right, but its the contrast in colors (white sealer over the primer) that will get you thinkning that you didnt do a good job, and you will be tempted to spread the sealer some more and overdo it!!!...Just leave it, and when you spray it body color, it instantly looks good!!!!

So dont overdo it! Resist the urge to do so!!! LOL

Thanks for all the kind words guys...

If you want to see the whole process documented and follow the restoration, I have a facebook page on it:

I still have to do the updates on the paint though!

Actually it's 2 stage paint mixed to match the dip primer grey (thanks Rick Kreuziger for sending me color match samples of the primers!!! ). Then we dusted the f8 paint in the overspray patterns and then we got all clearcoated with matte Glassurit clear!!!

Looks good, hard to tell its not primer, and it should provide years of protection and it will be super easy to wipe clean if stained!!!




Looks fantastic.. That's pretty much the exact thing I did to my former '68 Hemi Charger R/T..

Domingo, unreal. Looks unbelievable. You really are an artist. Make sure you leave some marijuana joints and your initials all over before the carpet install.. Oh ya, leave some wrong build sheets to make it official..


Kiddding. Looks amazing. Great work.

Thanks guys!!!!

Yes, thats the best way I thought there was to do it. I want to drive it and enjoy it, not just show it! The restoration has to endure the test of time and actual use and keep looking fresh!!!!

last!!!

....I know this was applied b4 paint.....but when you check out original cars, its almost like it was applied after because the paint was sucked in by the tar and the paint residues are barely noticeable. I dont know though what extent of time this happened really, so I decided to paint, seal, and then once the sealer is dry Ill just dust it over very slitghly with some F8 paint to replicate the original look you would fin on a survivor typoe car...

Great job!! Looks like Wayne (the retired Detroit Autoworker) came out of retirement just to lay down sealer one more time...
