Go for it, bubba.
We'll be anxious to see your progress report. 😉

Gone a couple of weeks and was hoping to come back to seeing it painted....well at least I didn't miss the unveiling. Looking forward to seeing it painted Blake!

I out smarted my phone and was able to get my pictures up!
Saturday I got the cowl and firewall sprayed, thus officially concluding my painting!
I made a spray out at the recommended ratio and it still looked too glossy.
So I doubled the flattening agent and let it rip.
Of course it ended up a bit flatter than I was hoping for, but it's not bad enough to make me want to redo it...

Here we have my crusty spots on the floor cleaned up, painted and with a fresh coat of seam sealer.


1/4 window trim, bumper fillers, mirrors, gas door and air deflector all painted.







Cowl and firewall masked, prepped and sprayed...







I'm going to reinstall the heater box and dash next week.
Assembling some stuff will be a good motivation boost while I wait for my returned buffing supplies to process.
It will also free up a lot of space, both inside the car and on my shelves at home.
Then it's on with the sanding and buffing!

Hell yeah, glad you can get some pics uploaded, looks like you'll have it together for some nice weather cruising!

Today I got the heater box cleaned up, installed and resealed as well as the interior ducts.
Then I cleaned up, painted and installed the VIN tag and antenna plug-in.
I'll put the dash together tomorrow.
Starting next week I'm going to have quite a bit of free time on my hands so progress on the wagon should pick up considerably...
