    Default 66 Pontiac Tempest Custom- update 10-26-09

    Hi my name is Shawn I have a 1966 Tempest Custom I have owned for 15 years or so was my daily driver at first. I have been restoring it since 2004.
    This is a condensed version of my resto so far. Right now my decklid, hood doors, fenders, cowl and header panel have been sprayed with dp50lf and k38 blocked and ready for base and clear. I have been using a cheap Kobalt gun for primer but have ordered a gun from Len to shoot the base and clear with. I have every part to complete the job just need to finish paint and start on the interior. I have done everything myself, engine and body work. I am leaving out a lot of info but I am not a typist .

    You know you've had your project car torn apart too long when:
    Your dogs are living in your fenders..

    Seriously though,, that's gonna be a sharp ride when it's done!!..

    Well no spray today. I wanted to pick up a quart of clear to have as back up because I think am going to be short. The the supplier is out of quarts and I don't want to spring for a whole gallon. My own fault for waiting to the last minute.

    I guess I will start my next project
