Re: 1973 Chevelle SS, 350, 4spd. build
Ok, just finished cleaning up from a day with the dustless blaster. And shooting 2 coats of epoxy on everything. Came out real nice, epoxy laid out nice and I got everything back in the garage by 9pm. Only things not blasted were my original wheels, rad support (which was blasted once before) and my header panel. I'll get those done another day since I have a full plate now with doing touch ups and block sanding within my 7 day window. Glad to be finally rid of any and all undercoating. I have some touch ups to do the floor and I'll be shooting 2 more coats of epoxy but thinned with acetone to knock down the sheen. I'm going for a satin on the bottom. I have to order some more black epoxy tomorrow.
Man the rippin' I'm taking from my buddies for tearing this car apart. LOL.
Here's some pics.

Thanks Kevin. It will be mostly stock looking except for the hood and wheels and tires. And the engine (which is numbers matching) will be worked over like it always has been. Original muncie trans still in there. Original 3.42 rear is in storage. I have a built monte rear in it with 4.10s.

Thanks guys. Nothing on the body. Found a thin spot on the trunk floor and driver floor. Nothing major. I'm glad with the results. Just waiting on my black epoxy so I can recoat the bottom with less sheen. Then it can go back on the frame and free up my lift.
Then the rotisserie and door/fender rack will be coming your way Kevin. LOL.

How did you handle the thin spots- cut out a rectangle and weld in new steel that you fabbed and butt welded in?

Did some jambing early this morning before the heat kicks. Planning on block sanding the glass hood today. Should be fun in the heat. LOL Last pic is the last coat of epoxy on the bottom. I was shooting for satin or maybe a slight gloss. Came out nice, little less gloss than a semi-gloss.

Re: 1973 Chevelle SS, 350, 4spd. build
Ok, my L88 glass hood had 2 coats of epoxy on it after it was dustless blasted. Today I blocked the epoxy with some guide coat to see where I stand. Put down a super thin layer of dura-glass right at the top edge of the hood where your chrome trim would be. I always noticed that there was a slight wave or something there from when they molded the hood. And touched up a bunch of pinholes in the glass. Came out pretty flat. I shot 2 coats of epoxy to seal up the hood again. Tomorrow I hope to shoot 2-3 coats of primer and block it again. Here it is just 2 minutes after shooting the epoxy.

Looks nice sir. Have you ever used Evercoats Slick Sand? High build primer that sands like butter. Fills in 36 sand scratches too. I've used in the past with good results.

I know a few guys who love slick sand. It goes on thick. I'll be.just using a regular build primer since the.car is straight. Just want to double check.

Did you do the dustless blasting or have it done? My son wants his 76 Celica done after spending some time with a DA and some 60 grit. Only thing is he wants his car bare metal with clear over it.

My friend owns a dustless blasting company. http://www.mobileblastaway.com/
He some cool youtube videos blasting cars.
I went all bare metal on everything. Frame, suspension, engine block, rear axle, etc. Still have to drop off my factory wheels, header panel and rad support. But I want to finish my hood, trunk lid, and block the roof while the car is vertical since its easier. Then the car should be going back on the frame hopefully by the end of next week.

Well, finished up the door jambs. Got the stripe color feathered in with no hard line just like the factory. 3 Coats of clear on the jambs.
This morning, I dusted off the frame, and put the body back on it. Big accomplishment. Had the firewall hanging from 2 U-bolts up front. The rear was on the rotisserie. See pic.
I blasted and epoxied my door hinges. They'll be ready for paint and clear in the morning. Then the doors will be going on.
Hey, Kevin, I'm almost done with the rotisserie and fender/door stand. LOL.
