Get 1 gallon of flat black housepaint and paint every surface you can, firewall, floors, trunk, inner fenders, inner door panels, inner quarter panels, inner wheel tubs, any surface you can find that will eventually be covered with something. This incapsulates the dust and rust and freshens the car for future work. Areas that are hard to get to get an aerosol flat black can of paint. Paint it from the rooter to the tooter!!Don't worry about runs or technique, just slap it on thick. wait 24 hours for the paint to dry then star adding the sheet metal you got at Ace hardware (22ga. 24"X24" sheets). More pics of that to follow. I have a little trouble with the pics. Don't know how to edit out a double pic??
Lookin' good. Tell us more about your car - how long have you had it? What are your plans - custom or original or a little bit of both?
Keep us posted with your progress.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
