I couldn't get my hands on a trailer, all of the U-haul rentals were taken.

I'm going to try to get a trailer Saturday morning and bring it over to the shop.

Worst comes to worst, I'll bring it over next Friday when I can reserve a trailer.

In the perfect world I'd probably have the shop do the jams as well.

Although I'm on a strict budget, so no big deal. This car is no show car. It's just a nice driver that I'm doing myself. I can't pay anybody to do anything.

rruner: a local shop in Jupiter, one of my buddy's friends is giving me a deal. I've gotten 4 or 5 cars painted by them before.

68RRFlyer: Those rails look great! I can't believe how much work that must have been.

I couldn't get my hands on a trailer this weekend, UHaul has them all booked up. Paint might have to wait till next weekend.

It's done , 1 yr later.
The paint came out pretty nice. It's no show car, but pretty nice for doing everything myself.

That gives me so much more ambition to get mine done. I've made a lot of progress on mine this year so far but I still have SO much work left to do. That looks sweet though and can't wait to see pictures of it all done. Nice work!

Looking good. Good to see you did most of the work yourself. Not many are willing to learn a little hard work. Nothing better then saying YOU did it once it's finished anyways.

I haven't even seen my RR in a few weeks now. probably will not get to touch it for another year.

That looks awesome man! Great job. It's a good feeling when you know you did it yourself. I'll cut and weld pretty much anything, but paint? I'mma gonna leave that to someone who knows what they're doing! I don't feel like learning on this one. Keep up the good work!

Cheers

For all of you doing your own work I would like to offer some helpful tips. Great work, thanks for sharing.

When you bondo a panel do not just apply it and walk away. Instead wait for it to set up and immediately file it smooth with a "cheese grater" type file[s]. Then let it harden a little further and sand till 2 steps a way from a finished surface. Then if you can let it sit for a few days before finish sanding & priming. I cover my work with the correct plastic to protect it in between steps.




As for application of primers and paints.
You need more than a respirator... Shorts and short sleeve t shirts are not a good idea due to the health risks of the chemicals involved.

You should be covered completely, preferably with the correct coveralls, head sock, safety glasses, nitrile gloves and the proper respirator. A shower is the next thing you do when the painting and clean up is done.

Adequate ventilation is important so do something about it. A roll of duct tape & plastic along with a regular box fan can do wonders.

Wear a welding respirator when welding.

Why are you putting so much bondo on that it just ends up floor in little cheese grater curls.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions guys. I apreciate it!

I got the bumpers and grill back on today, and took the car to it's first monthly cruise-in. Parked next to a guy w/ a red 69 RR Vert.

Will post pics soon.

Good for you

It must have been a ball pulling in to the cruise in. I would think that is what it is all about.
