906-127
January 20, 2005
These
first pictures are from January 3rd. We are just getting the
final primer applied.
The car
is block sanded and then primed red. It was then re-taped
so we could prime the bottom.
Our decision
was to paint the underneath gray, but we decided to paint
it like Stegman's signal red 906, which meant painting the
underside red.
It's hard
to tell that this is red primer because it looks like shiny
signal red.
The picture
on the right shows the true color.When primer is added, it
dulls the color.
Jack and
I are now sanding the primer for final signal red paint.
I remember
how old I am when I'm sanding the bottom of a car. Or shall
I say, I remember how old my neck is.
From sanding
to paint, it's always great news when the final paint is going
on any part of a restoration!
I actually
made a jig to install a 906 into our rotisserie, but it takes
about a week to find the fixtures, a day to install them,
and another day to get the whole thing in the booth. It just
becomes easier to lay on my back for one day. Ok, I've complained,
now I feel better.
