T-Bucket Build

[StylinP]

I really like the stretched body. Could you give me the details on how you did it?

Thanks,
Chris

Sorry, missed this one. Easy. I cut it in 4 sections, reinforced with wood, glass, more glass, and more glass.


Did I mention glass?

what kind of primer are you spraying?[P

 

[StylinP]

I'm using the Summit Racing brand 2K urethane primer. Well, my bud Ricky is the one spraying it and fixing all my bondo-boo-boos!

Nice Car! Keep up the good work. Gotta love the t's.

Flat Black is a color!

(Although in this pic, it looks glossy as hell! LOL)

 

[StylinP]

Had some wicked orange peel so we had to wet sand it out. We're going to re-shoot it Th morning. Hopefully we'll get it right. The weather has been hot and humid in NE Ohio, so its been hard to get the right combo of reducer and activator.

Hopefully I'll have some more pics Thursday. I hope to reunite the body and chassis once it comes back to my shop on Friday.

Wish us luck!

Finally a T-bucket that has leg room! It looks pretty nice. When would you have the body on the chassis? I can't wait to see it!

Thats going to be a sweet ride. I just started a '20 Dodge touring with that same idea of a streched 2dr...freakin cool

 

[StylinP]

Well, we didn't get it quite right and had some drips and runs. So, we DA'ed it down and got it nice and flat. Did a little more wet sanding, and NOW it looks like it should!

I have no idea why the firewall looks white in this pic, must be overexposed. Its actually the same silver I used on the block.

FINALLY, it comes home today! I can't wait to start putting it all together for the final time!

It looks really good Pat. We had the same problem and had to reshoot my 27 body because of a couple of runs and dirt. Just one of the facts of life of painting a car without a downdraft booth.
