Thanks, 8man. Maybe I will be where you are on your project one day. I can say that I'm getting tired of bodywork and I'm only halfway there.
Anyway, time for a small update. I've been moving along slowly over the last month mostly focusing on the doors, rear fenders, inner tubs, and rear bumper with high-build polyester. Most parts are taking 3 sanding rounds. It amazes me the time and effort required to get things "straight". I don't want to think about the hours that I have in the doors alone from metal work, fab work for power windows, Mita handles, body work, and final detail work with high build.
Complaining doesn't speed things up either, so I will move on.
I finally got the 2.3 nozzle that I needed to spray the high build and went to spraying. It sprays pink and sands gray with the pink acting like a built-in guide coat.
