I just painted my 20-foot car. Now its a 3 foot car (depending on your vision prescription). Engine building, brakes, and suspension.... piece o cake. Painting.... should be called preping and cleaning. This project suffered major feature creep. I was just going to mask it and spray it, ya know, just make it shine a little. The paint was only $100. Then I pulled the trunk seal out. Who wants to go through the hassle of masking all that rubber? Under the trunk seal I found rust in the rail, not a lot but I ground it off and treated it with POR-15. Then I went to tape the door seals off. The seals already had red over-spray from their previous life in the donor car I took them from so I pulled those too…Damn! More rust. Not a lot, so I scraped, brushed and more POR-15. I see a pattern developing here so I just pulled it all apart. Removed all the seals, the interior, lights, signals, even the windshield. So here it is, 4 weeks and $300 later. I photographed every step of the way . If ya’ll are interested, I’ll re-size the pics and post some
