I am especially envious of the metal rear valance.

Can you enlighten me on your paint process and what brand paint and primers you are using. What does a guide coat mean? Thanks for any info as I'm preparing to do some parts like yours.
Thanks

I am especially envious of the metal rear valance. I concur with this. I should have spent more time on mine before painting and installing it. Leo | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,557 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,557 | Craig,I really think you should ask the question of paint process in the paint and body shop. I will be glad to respond to it with what i have used so far. I'm not a professional,but have read about many products and the order of usage.
Thanks again guys !!!
Tim

you do really nice work! Did you get some of those panels from Metalman?
Fred | | | | | Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 323 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 323 | Looks nice. I'm just starting to replace some panels on my 37. Are you using MIG or O/A? Wish my rear fenders looked that good.

These old bolts are in my blood. Hard thing is focusing on just one.
