I thought I would have ben further along by now but I continue to mix, spread and sand body filler as often as my busy life allows. I have about 6 small trouble areas that I will try to rectify tomorrow. Then I will give the areas I did bodywork a coat of polyester putty to fill sanding scratches and other small imperfections. If all goes well, that may happen tomorrow or at worst on Friday. The car club I am a member of is hosting a car show on Saturday so I will spend part of Friday helping to set up the show field and do other last minute details and Saturday I will be at the show all day. On Sunday if all bodywork is complete, I will DA the rest of the body and scuff the frame, then blow down and clean all surfaces in preparation for primer and paint. I will be working out of town for the next two weeks starting 8/22 but will be home for the in-between weekend. I hope to epoxy prime the entire body and chassis, including the under side. I will them paint the underside, frame, and interior shell, including the interior of the trunk area with black enamel. After that, if I get a warm September weekend I will paint the body. If not, I will paint the body next Spring. In the meantime, I will remove engine accessories, sand, sandblast, clean, degrease, prime, paint. I will clean and degrease the exterior engine, paint the block and oil pan Ford Blue, keep the head natural, remove any unnecessary emission controls and vacuum hoses, re-gasket any external mating surfaces, install the header, then put the fresh-looking 2.3 back in the chassis. Then I can assemble the front suspension. By that time it will be time to push it into the corner for the Winter and resume in the Spring. I will keep you posted as I make progress.
