Road Runner Nest

Today was the big day!!!!
Picked her up from the body shop.

More pictures......I'm stoked!

Can't forget my assistant.....

woooooow i

Ever since I saw Bruce's RR on this site, I knew I had to go white with mine.

So the first order of business was to get some protection inside the wheel wells.
Instead of just going with the usual undercoating, I decided to use this stuff. Being a truck bed liner, it is tint able, so I bought a quart of W3 enamel to mix into it.
The end result is fabulous! The stuff goes on like butter.
I had to use a smaller roller to apply because a Schutz gun can not spray upside down.
Here's the results....

I also put her fender tag back on so she can have some identity.

The next step is to get a cut & buff done on the clear coat.
The young guy I found to do it in my garage is great.
This is his daily driver... Here he is hard at work. He's coming over on Labour day Monday to finish it off.

woooooooooooooooooooooow

Thanks Kevin - when are you coming down this way to help me assemble it??

i wold love to assemble it

Holy cow man, I just spent 45 minutes going back through your entire thread on this car. Man you have put some time into this baby. But it just proves that anyone with a little ambition and time can do most of the work on a full blown restoration/resurrection and have a quality product in the end. I look forward to seeing the bits and pieces going back on the car now that the paint is done.
Scott.

Scott, you certainly helped me by supplying the door that I needed .
Yes its been quite the journey for me. You and the others here can relate as we are doing what we can ourselves to try and save some $$$.
Yes I did fork out quite a bit of $$$ for the body and paint but if I gave it ago myself it certainly wouldn't have turned out the way it is now.

Anyway, once Ryan is done with the cut & buff I do need to touch up the area under the dutchman panel. Not enough paint on it.
I had some enamel paint spray bombs made up and will do that next.
After that it's on to the front end to black out the area behind the grille.

So the cut and polish is complete now. Ryan finished last night at midnight.
He put a final coat of wax on it. This is the stuff he used. The car certainly is shinier than before - and when it was painted it was shiny.
These indoor pics may not do it any justice.

I finally was able to get this mounted on the wall in the shop today. My wife bought it as a birthday present some time ago - but because the shop was a mess with the underside bead blasting I didn't want to hang it then.
I think it looks good in it's new home.
