'83 Cutlass Cruiser Build Thread

[Blake442]

Got a bit of a late start yesterday morning but still got the dog hair wet sanded out of the hood...
Tomorrow's mission is shop clean up... yay

As long as we don't have an east wind on Saturday I'll paint the door jambs and rockers.

Got the shop all cleaned out today and moved stuff around so I have room to work.
Still a few things left to cover up, but it's 90% ready...
I'm gonna head out tomorrow and mask up the rest of the car so that I'm ready to spray right away on Saturday.

Hopefully you can lay some color on this thing this weekend! I'll be checking back often for sure!

Good luck, buddy...we'll be tuning in on your progress.

Got the rest of the car masked up today.
It's good thing I did it today instead of trying to squeeze everything in Saturday because at my slow pace it took me about 5 hours...
I swung by Menard's on the way home and picked up two decent looking tripod lites for $20 each.
Hopefully they'll help prevent me from doing what I did to the 442 hood I painted a couple months ago... 😳
Forecast looks good so tomorrow we'll let 'er rip!

I'll be checking in tomorrow night to how you made out, I'm excited to see it in color!

Go for it bubba...the weather ain't gonna get any better. 😉
I'll also be looking forward to seeing your progress.,,don't procrastinate. 😛

Success!
Jambs turned out great.
4 coats of base and 2 coats of clear.
I'll unmask the car tomorrow and get some better shots with some sun lite.

And one stripe on the garage door for posterity. Nice work. After being patient for so long, it must be hard to hold back. Can't wait to see the finished product!
