  Steve......GREAT...Glad you were able to locate the bumpers....now if they are the correct ones...

I finally got the epoxy sprayed on the right qtr panel.  I have really had it with that stuff! I guess i'm to stuck in the past. To me this stuff is a real pain in the a**.  Tape time(stuff gets on everything) mixing, cleaning, just to spray a quick coat. (Also HATE hvlp guns, another pain),And my garage really stinks even though I had two exhaust fans running. 

  I got on the net and found some high build lacquer primer/sufacer. So my buddy's ordering it for me, ($45 per gal +ship). Now I can get my good 'ol siphon gun back out and leave the primer in it as I need it. A lot less, stink, mess, stress, time and material waist.
, (to this old fart set in his ways). I'll save the epoxy for final coat and epoxy sealer after, like I use to!  Sorry, rant over.

Steve... Looking good at least your making some progress...same for me  caught a couple of nice days to do some work  on some fenders....still have a long ways to go on them ...at least I can pull off of them when I've had enough and do something else

[madmike3434]

You do not have to use HVLP guns to spray the epoxy primer, I sprayed it with my syphon gun and also the smaller touch up gun.   I find sometimes that the 1.4 HVLP gun which is what recommended with that primer. I also have the 1.8 and the 2.3 HVLP guns.

I think its best to spray the high build epoxy primer and block it down with file board as a base , then use other primers over top.  One problem I find with the high build primers in light grey colour , its real tough to see mini pock marks in the primers.  Not the same with lacquer or nitro primers over top in oxide red or preferably black.

Hate the smell of epoxy , smells like you have a curing fiberglass car in garage.

sammons  is that a disc brake rear end out of a Lincoln  I LIKE   vette59jdwl

Yep Mike, but my good Binks siphon gun was down at the shop (too lazy to go get it). My favorite color is the dark grey, I could see every little imperfection in it (while sanding also)  light grey is pretty hard to see for me as well. Got some hotrod black primer, it doesn't sand well or fill as good, too me anyway.

Wayner, I used the whole rear stub off a mid 70's vette. (And the front ) It fit between the rear inner wheel tubs perfect.

I got it back on the ground last night, and for the first time in months the Inspector climbed in, looked around. Of course it wore him out after.

  I was looking at something just like that  and then i said to myself you would have to cut the front fenders to get that in there and then i said no.I think i am going to stay with what i have for now

  I finally got all the screws out of the right door hinges. Got them cleaned up and new bushings in. Got all the extra holes in the front door welded up where all the wood screws were and re-hung the door. I didn't think the bushings were that bad, but the back of the door sure came up nice.
  The top and front gap are on the money but the upper rear corner is low. This door was off another car and it appeard to have been ground and re-welded. The back is tight but not touching. I'll add to the top corner and trim the back edge tomorrow. Other than that I had to put a 2x4 in the upper rear and push on the bottom to draw out the vertical twist it had.(tight on top out at bottom)  Shuts smooth now.

Sounds like you busted butt today and got a lot done...door looks good... I  haven't done nuttin  on the 33....

   Neat License Plate

[sammons]

Ed if I could keep up this pace today, I might get it done. lol

Are you feeling better? I hope you are getting over that crud!  That plate is one of Dads old ones. Could transfer it over, but I don't want the hassel of "It's not stock" ticket. Probably should transfer to The '58 Vette.

Sammons that car looks so good, and the door looks to be  gapped really nice.

Door is fit is nice, It took me a couple days to get mine to fit, they can be a real pain

[chopper526]

That looks great, Sammons! That's one place I wish I had spent more time, doorgap.

Sometimes you have to make the door fit the opening you have by doing a little grinding welding adding metal and making subtle changes to the door. I worked on mine for several days to get the fit I was after and they could still use a little more work.
