The Fest

« on: October 15, 2007, 09:57:57 AM »
Sorry that Linda and I didn't make it to the "Fest" .   We got on a roll with Albert De Allison Sat and Sun. Linda labored away on making and sewing up inside panel coverings. We are trying to make some time while the weather is good. We are not blessed with a 3 story "Candy Store" complete with "Doggy" to work in like some Varments I know. :lol:  We are getting closer and closer.
    Have you ever painted a car B/C-C/C outside under 2 Blue Thinys tied together, "skeeter" netting all around and not ever painted a car in your life ?  2qts paint, 1 HVLP,  1/2 gal of Evan Williams works pretty well. 8)

Never used a base-coat/clear-coat . . . never painted under two blue thingys . . . never used "skeeter" netting . . . but I have painted many cars.  Well, ok, not "that" many, but I've painted Homer the Superbus several times.  Krylon works great.  The spray can kind is more expensive, but it leaves a better finish than the brush on kind . . . maybe the brush on stuff would have worked better if I had used a good brush.  Washing it first might have helped a little too.   :lol:

I've seen some pictures . . . can't wait to see Albert in person!   8)

Im' in the middle of wiring Albert up.  Dang !! I have forgot how much fun it is to wire up a car.  A little 1970 and a little 1963 and a little freelance. Jezz !!!    I did prewire all lights and the harness's  now dangle under the fenders.   I have taken a lot of pics as we went along and will try to post later.   :roll:
