So the first time I painted the frame it was supposed to be basic single stage paint. Just paint and polish "well nope". The paint turned out to be base coat. Not enamel like I asked for so it never hardened properly. It buffed clean threw in spots. Luckily I didn't have to start over completely. I just scuffed the whole frame with scotch-brite pads reapplied the red base coat and then applied a clear coat. I was a little upset with not getting the right paint in the first place. But should have paid a little more attention and I also had clear coat laying around and was not afraid to use it. So it turned out great in the end. But the effort was tremendous (famous last words " I'm never going to do that again") I have to let the the clear cure for a week or so before I can get the motor, transmission, drive line and rear end back in it. Lots to do. More painting to come.

More Epoxy!
Epoxy more painting! Yeahhh! Epoxy I'm so excited. I got the rims finally worked out and in primer they need a little touch up to make them look a little better ( just cosmetic filler for a ding or two in the flat of the rim) I also got the rear end in final primer, hubs and hub bolts, locks. Next red paint and clear. Date code on the rear end makes it absolute 1933.
