I did not take out the glass. It will be coming out later this week so that the edges can be cleaned up. Really, glass is so easy to take out why wouldn't you do this when repainting... The process of stripping paint usually generates lots of dust. I think the body work is even worse. the glass will stay in until its ready to shoot. this will keep the interior somewhat clean and weather tight. This car resides outside.
While the bodywork is being finished there will likely be some flash rust. In this case, mechanical abrasion works well using a scotchbrite pad in the grinder. This cleaning will be followed by a wipedown with an etching surface prep and quickly coated with epoxy. These steps will be a long weekend of work to get finished.
John, I have thought about changing the color. If you ask my son, He will say, "orange, yes, Daddy, Orange Porsha". (He does know its 2 syllables). Likely it will be silver again with a little twist.
James, the Lindsey's have always been on the car. They are recycled from BB1. Although, if there is money left after painting and the top-end job to fix a broken headstud those 8.5" Minilites in the garage will finally get some rubber.
Jay, the thought has crossed my mind many times. I suppose gray epoxy would fit the purpose well.
Randy, And I will continue to thank Barton Springs for keeping me cool all summer.
