Rusty's not very quiet cuda progress

[a12bee]

Ahhh, I gotcha on the door gap. Too bad too, looks nice and even over the length. For some reason I always thought you were going to spray it a final time after you put it all together.

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

The orig idea was just the clear, then i started chipping stuff, so touch ups & clear, well it's mushrooming on me! we shall see how far(bad) it gets! :huh: Rich.

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

Got a few little things done, put in the new window clips & screws, gonna be short about 4 of the old style clips, got 14 pins left & only ten clips, new ones have oval hole, tried cutting the bottom out of one but it's too loose. think I got the drivers door lined up & sanded out the top of the dr side quarter, that seems ok.

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

While I was wandering around out there I noticed a light spot on the tail panel, scratched the clear right off with my fingernail, so thats goin back to primer AGAIN

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

Since about every panel needs work I decided to fix that low corner on the top of the quarter where we didn't weld in enough metal, slingin mud again!
I think I'm gonna order the windshield next & get the front & rear glass in, then i'll start saving up for the paint & supplies, figger another grand out the window.Gonna shoot for a fall reshoot! then maybe I can start savin up for the interior stuff! :doubt: Rich.

Wow, seems the Cuda is fightin ya. Hope you get it smoothed out soon.

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

Spent most of the last 3 days roughing up the clear for the next coat & doing some putty touch ups where needed, had to move the line up a tad on the pass quarter to match the door.:shifty:

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

K drivers side I worked the fender to door area & figgured i bett sharpen up the line so it doesn't dissapear in the next coats of paint. also shot the trunk lid & top of quarter work.

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

Tail pannel reprimed, this time I bought the organasol paint at PPG, this better come out right!:toot:

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

K, my paint is now over 560 a gal, lucky I only needed 3 quarts! anyway It hurts too much to repeat how much I just spent, this is the last time, no matter what!
So on with the show, got the guide coat on it all & will start resanding sometime this week or weekend, gotta order the windshield, & get the rest of the glass in, then it's work with what I have again till I hit the lottery! :helpme: Rich.

 

[moparGRANDE]

where can i get a rotisserie?

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

I have seen them on the net, I got lucky a friend loaned me his, are you local (north east new jersey area) he might rent it out???? Rich.

 

[BootHead]

yeah, it hurt to watch the "final" go up in dust, but I'm sure you will have something to be proud of when she's done!

[a12bee]

But look how straight the body lines are. The defining lines. I wanna a cuda.

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

K ,think I got the drivers side pretty close, moved over to the pass side & did a little putty work & a couple a coats a prime, another go at the lines!:doh:

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

guide coat on! & away we go, quarter is pretty sharp, just gave the fender & door a once over to see where I'm at, got a ways to go on those!

 

[RUSTY Cuda]

Guess the little guys pretty bored with the broken foot, so he asked to sand, took a chance(I've done this too many times) & gave him a small block!:dgt:
had to instruck a few times, but he did ok! [smilie=f:Rich.

 

[mr340]

Coming along nicely Rich, I'll try to get up that was as soon as time allows, we need another BS session soon....
