The DEMONX 1970 vert project Pt2
Scott:
Sounds like you are having as much fun with the paint as I am trying to get the right amount of end play with my new rear wheel bearings. One is spot on, the other is way off :24

One side nearly done. Just got to work out a good way to sand in all the little nooks and crannies - pic taken 11/10/09

I remember that stage I feel your pain....

Since the fibreglass guys booked into come round tomorrow for the body work I figured I better pull my thumb out and get a bit more prep done.
I dropped off a heap of small parts to be soda blasted like all the egg grills, wiper door and wiper door grill the chrome window corner pieces near the wiper door. Also the rear deck grills, petrol lid door and the headlight surrounds.
While I as there I asked them blast the wheel carrier very lightly as I didn't want to risk thinning it too much (they used garnet on this) ...
Will get the damage (bottom of pic) glassed up tomorrow
Also got them to blast the rear filler panel while I waited. It looks like a bloody jigsaw puzzle with all the cracks and bog.
Still deciding whether to get this repaired tomorrow or if it'd be cheaper to order a brand new one. I have about 14 hours to make my mind up and I'm hoping to be asleep for at least half those!
Will post more pics when I get the soda blasted pieces back.
