PAINT'n & PATCH'n




The stockings were hung.... OOPS wrong story!
I covered the entire garage floor in old boat tarps and newsprint to keep from painting the floors. Had to be done for each painting session whether primer, truck bed liner or finish coats.
The fenders and nose piece are hung from the overhead garage door tracks. An inner fender is on the floor. That's me in the pic, note the respirator. Catalyzed epoxy 2 part paints have caused chemical pneumonia! It took until '03 to get to this point!




   


A different view of the same parts.

The doors after removal and priming. The doors and front fascia did not get this far until "04.
















Afterward, some of what you see was bagged in garbage bags or wrapped in old boat tarps and stored in our newly created, in the garage, rafters storage space. The hood would't fit anywhere so it went into the sun room. The doors were too heavy so they went in the basement. The fenders were too long so they went in the basement too.
