Sprayed about 4 layers of primer on... Stupid be mixed to much primer. I sprayed it about 5% reduction for a heavy build, and laid it on thick the first coat. To thick actually as I got a couple of bubbles.


I'll show some pics tomorrow. But I sanded it down really quick with 220 to cut most of the 80 grit scratches out prior to priming. I should be able to get most of those scratches out tomorrow and primer seal it by the end of the day! However I need to get some 180 grit.. Im almost out of 220 grit, and completely out of 150 grit, and primer should cover 180 grit scratches.

No pics, but I got side tracked many times during the day... 2 layers of primer and one tiny spot of old filler apparently didnt have enough hardner, sanded the whole area out and reapplied filler.

Got some 180 grit paper from the store, Its the paper stuff, but it works really good. I want to sand the car down again to make sure I have all the low spots filled before I primer seal it, but im pretty sure its all done.

Depending on how much time I have tomorrow, i'll finish the passenger side and commence work on the A pillar, targa bar, engine lid, and front trunk.

Nice progress Andyrew but no matter how nice you do the body work, and what color you paint it I will still have no idea how to instruct on an autocross course for a car possessed by the devil! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Im going to give it a throttle stop and retard the timing so it has less torque and only ~ 200 hp for a while. I want to give it a couple of autox's this season. Still have to dial in the suspension, no clue how my mixmatch of suspension stuff is going to come out like.

Advance it until it almost wont start. That will reduce low end torque and move the HP hogher in the rpm band. Don't be to worried about pre-ignition. A car this light will almost never make a V8 ping.

Awesome progress. Body work and paint is the thing that intimidates me... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

FYI roll cages made of tape ARE inexpensive and crafty, but I have it on good word they won't pass a tech inspection (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
