Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

Yeah, Duane is right, you couldn't buy a story like that. Well, you sort of DID buy it, but it could have cost a whole lot more.


Today was more parts getting primered day. I put a 2 x 4 over a couple of ladders, and hung as many front end parts as I could on it. Got them all primered, but had to switch to a different can mid way though. Not sure what happened, I mixed the primer just like always, but half way through it started to gel in the gun. I had to hurry up and clean it all out with laquer thinner, and by that time even the extra primer I had waiting in a cup was starting to gel.

Luckily, Don had some epoxy primer he had bought for his engine, so I borrowed some of it. That batch sprayed well, but is a slightly different color, as it is a different part number. I really don't care, as I will probably be spraying more over it after I do some sanding.

Anyway, here is my "Xmas tree" of primered parts. I sure will be glad when this stage is over. It is a messy job what with all the sanding dust, etc. Tomorrow I have to do some housecleaning in the shop.........it is a disaster from all of this latest work.
