Project Blackbird is underway - pics (56k go away)
Another new paintjob in the making. For the most part, the original paint was in great condition, only a few spots where the paint was going bad. Clearcoat overall was good, but there were a number of lsmall chips in the clear in a lot of places. Luckily nearly all of them were only in the clear and not into the base. A couple of dents that will be pulled and filled, then 4 coats of fresh black paint. Not seen in the photos is the markers, parking, and tail lights coming off, as well as the emblems, front grill, and lower front gfx.
More photos to come.
A while back a rust spot popped up on the A-pillar down near the bottom. We originally thought it was just surface rust. Upon removing the trim around the windshield, as well as inadvertantly part of the windshield (which is getting replaced anyway) we found two holes along the edge of the A-pillar.
As of tonight, all of the car is sanded except for the rocker panel ground effects, should be ready for paint tomorrow evening.
More photos to come.
