I just could not take the afternoon off! Got primer on the insides of a few panels. My fingers are getting real tender from hand sanding corners. Here are a few more pics! Bob
I thought for sure at the rate Bob was going that by the time I got to page three, it would be a picture of him and his wife driving in it.
As you are discovering Bob is any MG enthusiasts hero. When I first met him, I had no clue about his skills, but had the pleasure of going to his home and getting to see his cars, his shop and at the time a beautiful tub - much like what you see in the above pictures - getting ready for final paint. It was then that I realized what an asset to the community he is as he rabidly restores these old cars and gets them back on the road.
Going red. One of our Metrolina MG club members has a 69 done in a perfect MG red. He was good enough to share the paiont info. I am between primer coats right now. Just have to let it flash off before doing the 2nd coat. Probably more pics tomorrow. Bob
Tony, I would not exactly call it Tartan red. Alot of the older colors did not have a crisp/clean look. This color looks great and is not a cheap looking red. Todays pics do not show much change even though i put another 7 hours on it. The next step will be seam sealer in all the right areas and then re-block sand and prime again. I picked up the engine bay black parts from the powder coater yesterday. What i would like to find is someting i can use for floor insulation. 3 of the 4 pieces of original floor insulation matting is original and good. What can i pour into the recess areas of the driver floor to bring it up to the same level as the rest? It was suggested that a mobile home roofing tar might work. Any thoughts would be great! Y'all have a safe new years eve.! I hope to be back at it again on Monday. I would like to start inner body color sometime next week. Bob
I've not hunted it yet but perhaps the material used on stainless kitchen sinks to keep 'em from "oil can" and other noise? Mebbe a plumbing supply house.
The single ply roofing industry uses a 2 part, self leveling product for filling pitch pockets. Mix the amount you need, pour it in the low spots/recesses. Cures to a hard rubber consistinsey. I've never used it for this type of app, but should work.
