Page 2 The project begins |

Since it's very cold outside, paint and bodywork is pushed forward a bit, it's so much easier and cheaper to heat the garage to painting temperatures when it's warmer outside.
Something off the To Do list was picked, and it happened to be the E-brake, mounted between the seats here.

|
Seen from below here is the adjusting mechanism and the equalizer bar that theoretically will apply the same force on both cables when the hand brake is pulled. |
|
The garnish moldings were dusted off and trial mounted, some pieces shortened to fit as the inside of the doors and window openings aren't stock anymore, then all holes for the sheet metal screws were drilled. Next, the media blasting cabinet was put into action, all parts blasted and then sanded with 320 grit to make them ready for primer. |
|
|
|
The parts, along with the tail light housings were then painted with oxide red primer. |
|
A lot of parts were removed from the body itself for paint.
The fenders, running board moldings and aprons were sanded with 180 grit to take epoxy.
|
|
|
|
Hardener was applied to the epoxy, and thinner was added,the leaf blower ventilation system was turned on and a couple coats of epoxy was laid on all the parts. Everything is gray.
The temperatur in the garage is slowly rising, another day and we'll be able to start using body filler.
