yes I tried wet 600 and 400...both gummed up the paper something awful. compile that with all the bondo that was cracking on the car and wavy when you looked down the side, I knew I would be sanding quite a bit. so the 220 was brought out, knowing I would be resealing with epoxy, high...

here is some of the mess

I have purchased some quarter panels for a project and they are stamped with a recess at the top of the panel. Can I use clecos to pull the new panel to the old metal that I have cut and weld a seam from the front? Do I need to cut that recess off the patch panel?

Well fella's thank you for the responses. here is where we stand currently. 600 grit wet gummed up, so did 400, 220 didn't and I achieved a good scuff on the entire car. I took a magnet across the car and anywhere it did not stick well I did a 'discovery sanding'. Basically sanding down where...

thanks for the info guys. Can you color sand a single stage metallic? couple questions on my process... Can I scuff the paint that doesn't need bodywork for adhesion of the new paint job? what grit? I assume I will need to sand the paint entirely away, do bodywork, prime and feather it out for...

I just bought a car and it has paint issues with it. It is a titanium metallic silver Acrylic Enamel, and to be honest I believe it is a cheap paint the previous owner used, TCP Global (Restoration Shop). The metallic paint has dark spots, lighter spots, its dull and the entire top of the car...

fflintstone: I read about the "Franz"- trolling this site for quite awhile, lot of mixed reviews. I get the concept...still thinking about that one. Might give it a try.

painting, sandblasting and sodablasting will be used on the 2nd reel...I already have the 2nd reel, figured I would use it for that purpose

what about a pressure relief valve, is that necessary in this design, if so...where would it need to be placed?

I can add a filter/dryer in front of tool and air tank easily. Does the filter at the tank actually trap pretty well? I do not use inline oilers either. The dryer in front of the paint reel is a fairly nice one I got as a gift, figured it would be better put to that use for the best dry air...

this is my first attempt at the designing of the air lines in my shop. I'm starting to get more into restoration work and need clean dry air. Looking for any suggestions on changes/additions. hopefully the drawing is not to difficult to understand. Thanks guys.

bandit- love that 'white whisky' its good stuff!

if we didn't, it would be very boring around here. glad u like the burnout at least...haha

the rims are what came on the 86' s10 that the body is sitting on. I don't like them either, was looking at gunmetal boss 338's 18 in front 20 in rear...but also like the steel wheels with solid disc center. whitewalls wont be on this truck, I like them just not on this truck. so until I make up...

thanks for the compliments. Here is a very rough sketch of the layout and a couple more pics to get a better understanding.
