1973 Travelall 1010 - Slammed Family Cruiser Build.

All right wife has been out of town this week. And I've been sanding. I want this thing done. It's going to just be a 20 footer.

Took me 2 days just to unbury it in the garage.

I have taken the da with 600 to everything back to the rear wheel wells. I have the window frames flat areas all sanded except for past the wheel wells. All the little radius bullshit sanding on the window frames is half done. It's stupid all the sanding looks exactly the same on pictures.

Shes gone next week Too. Not sure I can get it sprayed with work and the time windows between coats.... But I'm trying.

Send it!

Nice, I hate that final sanding. I'm usually so blowed out by that point I'm over the whole paint thing!

That's why it's been sitting for a year. I was done with the sanding and I painted it and f***** up

It can be "not perfect" in front of the ice cream shop this summer...

 

[Projectjunkie]

X2 on send it!

Just spray it and drive it, even with flaws it'll still be the baddest bitch on the block

 

[Java230]

It's getting close! Butt shot.

Are you shooting single stage or two stage? 600 is good enough to start spraying in my book.

Epoxy primer and clear. Just ran that over to freshen things up

 

[Java230]

Always wanted on of these. Figured it would work well for wax and grease remover.

Old masking removed. Leaf blower has been taken to garage.

 

[Java230]

Well...... I'm Out of grandma scented glass cleaner.... (one pass over before wax and grease)

And I dropped a pocket knife down my cowl access hole.... Oh joy.

 

[Java230]

Roof is wiped with wax and grease. Heat is on.

 

[V30crewcab]

you can do it,,,,,
just wet the floor down and get on it!

 

[Java230]

Heater is working. It's HOT in the garage. Pizza break. Need to catch the cat next

Well it's late today. This is gonna have to be a tomorrow project. Damn. Had to drive the kid around. Got home and the universe is telling me wait. Batteries for the safe are dead. Can't move wife's car..... I have everything but 9v....

I'll Give it another wax and grease bath before bed.

 

[V30crewcab]

1st thing in the morning is the best time to spray anyhow. not really any bugs out before 10am around here at least.

But the roof is one color! A little odd reaction again. More on that later. I have have just had way too much paint on the surface and high air pressure.

 

[budget76]

i've got to imagine the roof is the hardest to spray consistently with the lack of a good angle and the size of the flat.

congrats man, you're "nearing the end"

 

[Java230]

I think the activator may have gone bad. It was pretty brown coming out (unopened container, but older).


Here is the previous sprays white vs the cream color I got this time.

Yeah my back and shoulders are killing me today....

It's mostly the vertical areas and transition from flat to vertical that gave me trouble.

Hopefully I'll get the masking off and remask the roof tonight for the clear.

 

[Java230]

Let's goooooo

Enough pearl?

 

[V30crewcab]

stole somebodys curtains!

 

[Java230]

The lace adds a lot of texture.

2 coats on the lace, two over everything.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

How much detail in the lace did the paint capture? That's a really neat method.

Not a ton. I also only used pearl in clear so its a pretty light "color"

This is after all the coats of clear over it

 

[Java230]

Window frames are sprayed. A fair bit of runs on the drivers side....

Almost looks green as it's curing.

 

[budget76]

remind me on the color scheme?

offer still stands to take it off your hands. looks like you could use some more garage space
