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. Mad 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.. ;-)












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 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!
