I realy like the posting on your site. the layout, order and comments. just that you are a little behind on updating .
Maybe you could allow acces to your raw photos?
Hi JFB,
Thanks.
Not sure what you mean about the photo access? I do not have any of my photos blocked in any way.
And...yes...I need to do some catch up work :-)

Hi guys,
Well....finally did some work on 4042... She was starting to rust in this Michigan humidity, so decided to put her in epoxy primer. Unfortunately, I had to spend a full day sanding first. The big parts were easy..the nooks and crannies sucked. Big mistake...never happen again.... When I decided to put her aside for a few months, I should have taken the time then to put it in primer. Anyway, she is all sanded down and in safely wearing a coat of primer sealer. I still have to do the doors and suspension parts... hopefully next weekend....
Rolled back in... hand print rust here and there, plus speckled rust on many surfaces.
All sanded and ready for the morning. Doesn't really look much different, but any rust is now removed (note..it's dark outside now.. ;-)

Those last three pictures really look great. You should consider painting your car that color!
Sort of a "gunmetal grey"......

Hey Rocky,
Thanks. It's cool seeing it in a color (at this point any color ;-). It's actually deceiving to actual status, as I have quite a bit of work still to do on the body wrt panel straightening / dent removals etc.
I'm planning on going back to original color "silver poly". She's simply too clean of a car for me to not go back to stock. So, not gunmetal grey, but it will be a grey/silver color.

I tought the car was black?
I know it is a few steps latter, but any plans for blacked out hoods or lower section, ie GTS?
Hi JFB,
Yep..it was black...at least when I got it... Under the door jam vin tag I found the original color. I then bought a Marti Report to confirm it. Besides...I don't believe black was a factory color option.
Nope, no plans for any special treatments. I'm going as original as I can figure out.

Wow, great craftsmanship. Then to photo document the whole process with narration and discussion. Fantastic thread and a great resource for the future.

I must agree with the above words, having done much to my car 3840, this thread has given me the confidence to do similar tasks to the bodywork, the pics and ideas are just grand, I hope the thread continues through to completion.
wish I had found it when it began!
Hi Peter,
Glad you're finding the thread of use.
Yes, I plan to continue the thread to completion, however... I'm on 06001 at the moment. Once I get her on the road, I'll be back on 04042.
