here is what the doors look like after the paint stripper and light sanding:


a light coat of self etching primer before the actual primer:


i took as much of the factory seam sealer off:-BEFORE


this is after:

i did this around th hole door its just to give an idea of the detail we are putting into the build, it will be replaced with 3m's tape on seam sealer its way nicer than factory!

sata-jet primer gun:-thanks maciej


first coat of primer:


2nd and 3rd coat, it was a tad chilly 65degree in the shop so i dusted off the heat lamps:


the rest of the day will be spent knocking up the sound deading material, front end is ordered and will be here monday so ill test fit that probably tuesday. going to try to knock out the passenger side patch today as well.

wow awesome attention to detail, great build in progress should be the **** when done....

Watching..

 

thanks a lot!!! yes i am going for a SUPER MINT street car when i am done. i am however on a budget so please dont expect 2k in wheels and 1500 in seat when assembly time comes around. hahaha but the detail will me 1000% percent

 

Nice thread l plan on stripping my project to. Good job.

 

strip it, sanding is a waste of time. the only extra stey it etching primer, if you sand you have to prime anyways or at least you should. it was the most effective thing i have done on the build!!! while it was stripping, i was working on something else.
