Re: 69 long fleet- First build
About all I have been able to do lately is get some more cleaning on the frame done. I have been working a lot lately at my "job" and haven't had much free time. I hope to have the frame at least painted with in the next week or so... or not.... We will just have to wait and see..

Re: 69 long fleet- First build
I was able to get some done yesterday, after my root canal, and getting close to getting the frame ready for paint. I do still have my helpers, they like spending time with me and are really getting excited about it all. I just put the last pic in to show that I do actually work on it, too..

Re: 69 long fleet- First build
Good progress! It looks to me like you have plenty of room to work in your shop. Hey you have space all the way around it.
 You better watch out for child labor laws!

Re: 69 long fleet- First build
I decided to try something new (to me, anyway) last night. I filled the antenna hole on my cowl. Mainly to see if I could
.. and I think it came out alright. A little filler and maybe some hammer/dolly work, but it would be minimal. I wanted to take it slow.. any recommendations on primer/filler I should be using? It will be a while before I can do final prep/ paint. Let me know what you guys think and keep in mind, my first attempt at this

Re: 69 long fleet- First build
Looks good to me! X2 on the spray can rustoleum. I have been using some self etching primer that will prevent it from rusting until I can actually start on body work. Then I will switch to a car grade epoxy primer.

Re: 69 long fleet- First build
I was able to get a few things done this weekend.. I picked up a spot blaster from a "truckload sale" for $5! Small, but it works. I got the upper arms done and in paint
(stealing the color scheme from VA72C10 )...I just really wanted to see some color for motivation!! Should have time to work some more this week... hopefully (supposed to be cold, tho  )

Re: 69 long fleet- First build
That paint looks good! I wonder how it will hold up? It looks just like powder coat. Sweet!

Re: 69 long fleet- First build
Thanks guys! Its nice to know someone is looking
I hope the paint holds up..I have put it on fairly thick and will do the same on the frame, only black. From what Jonathan has said, it should. Besides, its just paint and can be touched up if needed
