It's getting chilly!

Hey guys I’m still around. There hasn’t been much to write about with the restorations. A lot has been backing up at the paint booth. With all the rain last month painting came to a stand still with the high humidity. Now that the weather has changed the paint booth has been in gear again. There has been a lot of prep work getting done but how far can you go when everything is just piling up. We were working on 53TD’s fenders, running boards and aprons. Today the fenders got the last coats of paint. It will be a month or so before they can be rubbed out and installed but they are painted.

Tomorrow the body tub for BlownTC will get a few coats of green paint. It has been sitting in the Q at the front of the paint booth. Once it’s painted it will be put on the chassis to dry. I’ve been working on identifying the holes on the firewall to figure out which ones need to be eliminated before paint. There are quite a few holes that aren’t needed.

I worked on the Beast’s doors yesterday, sandblasting them and filling in a few dents. They are ready for primer. The body tub is almost there but it isn’t needed until the TC tub is out of the way.
That’s it for now I’ll have some paint pics by the weekend. Later…
