64nail, your Monte slips are pretty impressive. Im planning to be similar. Do you have a chassis cert? I got the Frame almost ready for paint and primer for tomorrow
Yes, I have a chassis certification to 8.50.
Nice work on the frame!

Awesome! Thank you. Really have been trying to do a decent job got the frame in primer and one coat of chassis black. Ill do my second coat when its dry.
Frame turned out pretty good. Im acually surprised with myself. Now its time to step it up a notch and begin some hard stuff. Im going to start to clean up the body and prep for some epoxy primer. A lot of cleaning ahead of me
Fantastic work so far, ill be following this build.
What paint did you use on the frame?

Much Appreciated! Im using Summit brand direct to metal Epoxy primer. And Eastwood Extreme Chassis black. Gloss. Spraying out of Harbor Freight Black widow guns
Been working my *ss off on this body. HOLY Hell its tedious. Clean clean clean. Car has dirt, sand gunk, seam sealer all over! I have the Back half in primer now. Including Trunk pans. I cleaned under the package tray witch was a complete mess. And was able to get my HVLP gun up there at spray some primer under the package tray! Im going to leave the body in the booth and take a small break from the car then get back at cleaning the rest of the inside and fromt half of the car. Its very tedious, boring, and dirty as all hell!
Im not rly liking this part of the build honestly. O and I have to do the roof too! There are some rectangle shaped black like fiber pads glued to the under side of the roof like where the headliner would be. Id like to take them off to completely clean and paint the roof. (May or may not run a headliner in the car). But I dont know how to get them off. They are really glued on there. I thought of heat gun to loosen up the adhesive but im worried about warping the roof from the heat

It's tedious work, but when it's done it will all be worth it.
Looks fantastic by the way.

Thanks. Ive been working on the front half some. Cleaning up the old Butyl windshield sealent from the windshield flange was god awful. Ill keep Chipping away at it to get the rest of It cleaned up and in primer.
