Corsica Complete - Day 3

 

Corsica Complete Day 3

 

We are definately getting a bit more carried away with this job then originally thought. When I said were not getting too fussy with this please consider that as we will be treating this like it\'s going to the Barrett Auction. So I now have 2 1/2 solid days into this car and have quite a bit of progress. Our glass guys came in today and removed the rear window and seals from the front glass. i have stripped all of the paint of and now applied an epoxy primer. The Primer applied is BASF\'s RM EP569 with the PA897 Hardener. I originally wanted to use a polyuroxy primer instead but realized we were out of the necessary hardener (UA97) so I just went with the straight up epoxy formula. I will try sanding it on wednesday and see how bad it is to sand, if it is too hard I will apply a surface but I think it will be alright. I have a few minor dings to fix here and there but the next few day\'s I will be focusing on the door jambs. Tommorow I will be cleaning up the rockers as they are rusted pretty bad. Here is some pics on the progress, There is a video at the very bottom of me applying the epoxy (you will need to view this from our website to see it for thoughs just reading the email version).
