you can get it through your dupont dealer... its about 70 a quart, which isnt bad..

it sands rediculously easy, once its sanded you need to spray primer on top of it..

phatfarmer2 · 07-20-2008, 07:51 PM

gettin closer to paint.. i have 12 days left to get it done.
tailgate blocked, then sprayed with standox, then blocked again

then tailgate primed

door blocked once, then sprayed with standox, then blocked again, and primed..

hood in primer...

how it sits now...

hoping by the end of the week to be retty much done, and hopefully painted by the weekend.... but we shall see....

phillip7 · 07-21-2008, 06:54 AM

The panels all look really good and straight!

Driveway Kustomz · 07-21-2008, 10:54 AM

So I hate to ask but I gotta know, and dont bullshit me.

You have had this project for a long time now, and in my eyes your a very young guy. How do you afford/keep this up? I saw a side project you had with that fullsize. Are you a body guy and just have access to this sweet shop? Parents just have ooldes of money? What is it?

Myst · 07-21-2008, 06:12 PM

thats really cool your shop lets you go and use the shop on personal time ...my shop is so anal I can only like use the tools for shit but cant bring my truck in during afterhours or weekends...we arent open saturday/sunday

i have been working since i was 14. i have had about 3 jobs up untill i was 19 (3 jobs at the same time mind you), then got a full time job after i finished up 2 years of college (that i payed for also) so ive saved an ass load of money and rarely spent it on anything. ive bought and sold many cars/trucks for the the same amount or more then what they cost. Im always buying and selling stuff for cash flow. i focus spending my money on my trucks, why well because its a good business card, so i can get my name out there and eventually open up my own shop. Mind you i dotn spend my compelete saving on then, i budget my money pretty well....

as far as where i work, my boss is cool as shit, im a full time auto body tech (frame, body, restos, and a small amount of mechanical) i can stay as long as i want or whenever i want and work on my stuff as long as its after work hours. I will usually work overtime to pay off the materials and what not i use.

my parents never really gave me any handouts... they bought me my first car mind you it only cost 1,400 which i fixed up... they taught me you need to work for what u want

phatfarmer2 · 07-24-2008, 12:44 AM
