Another Build Thread - My '32

[J. Robinson]

Yeah, Seth, that engine stand is supposed to be rated for 1,000 pounds, but I'm skeptical. It just sags too much without that support. Until now I've always had small blocks and it was OK. Oh well, it won't be on there for long.

Here is a pic of my paint from The Coating Store. Everything you see here was $584.96. From left to right: 2 quarts of primer-sealer (silver); 2 pints of activator; 2 pints of reducer; 1 gallon of silver basecoat; 1 gallon of Apple Red EyeKandy; 3 quarts of activator; 1 gallon of clear; 1 gallon of reducer; sticks, strainers, and mixing cups. This same stuff from my local Axalta store would have been over $1200. I grew up using Dupont and PPG materials, but they have just gone berserk on their pricing in the last few years.

I'll let you all know how this stuff sprays and flows. I did my first all-over paint job on my '56 Chevy back in February of 1966. It was '66 Corvette Nassau Blue and a gallon of acrylic lacquer was $18.00. Thinner was $1.95 a gallon...
