I had loads of time to work on the 1600 over spring break. Actually, I assumed I’d get extra finished, however ensuring the flares blended properly with minimal physique filler took effort and time. 

Under is a rear IE flare blended and painted with a excessive construct urethane primer. I left the perimeters unpainted for now. There’s a pair spots the place I reduce by means of the epoxy primer floor and I wish to repaint these areas with extra epoxy. 

I nonetheless have some high-quality tuning to do on the entrance flares. The highest of the fender that meets the nostril is off. I’ll should make some aid cuts and weld for a greater match. Aside from that, I simply should care for a number of small low areas and high-quality tune the wheel arch line. I had taken out virtually two inches from the middle of the flares. 
 

Fast mock-up. 

Similar because the rear fenders. I must repaint the perimeters with an epoxy primer. 

I additionally took half of the hood down to reveal metallic. The unique proprietor will need to have used an oil primarily based home paint on this automobile. It actually was gumming up my sand paper. 
 

This week I’ll attempt chemically stripping the remainder. I’ve had good luck with the brand new Plane Paint Stripper Extremely. It really works virtually nearly as good because the previous system…it definitely has the identical robust scent. 
 

Till subsequent time people! ✌️
