Man am I pumped. I finally got up to the point where I could put some paint on somthing and it went better than I expected! I have a long ways to go but I got to the point where I needed to paint the cowl and the inside of the front fenders so I could assemble the front end. I have decided to paint the fenders on the car instead of trying to mount the fenders after painting them off the car. This was the first time I have used BC/CC and it has been twenty years since I attempted to spray paint a car. We won't talk about that experience.
Satr evening I taped off the fenders and the cowl and painted the inside and the top up to the hood channel and I painted the cowl and into the front hinge area of the doors which are on the car. I know I'll have a taping job ahead of me when I paint the rest of it but man, to see the BC/CC bright orange on just that much of the car was like a shot in the arm... Sunday I got one fender installed, had a little trouble and still have three bolt holes to elongate on the plastic inners but it is finally starting to come together after two years. I only had one run and a small area that had much orange peel but both are in area that is covered so I didn't need to do anything with them. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif
