Thanks fellas!
It made for a looong day, but it was worth it. Now I just have to block it out, shoot it with another coat of primer, shoot sealer, then base/clear. Just typing it makes me cringe. . . although, sounds like I will have access to a booth pretty soon.

Nitrile, why? The epoxy is a bear to get off your hands once it dries.
Use a mask bro! Enjoy that awesome sixty for a few years.
I did with the epoxy, but I feel no need with the 2K primer. . . it's goes on so thick that the odor/fumes are very low. Plus, being outside made for excellent ventilation.
Im going to paint my cruiser pretty soon got any tips?
Nice Work! Looked like a beautiful day for painting! Keep it up! I wanna see the finished product

Man, I don't even know where to start. . .
You doing a complete strip and paint like I did? or just a scuff and resquirt?
Actually I was being a smart ass and asking if you were using latex paint when I seen you with no mask.
I use nitrile gloves for all my wrenching by the way, lot easier than scrubbing hands constantly.

Thanks fellas! I'm really feeling like I hit another milestone in the project. Having the 1/4's welded in, straight, and covered in primer sure feels good!

Awesome , and I bet you are just chomping at the bit to get er done!
That's Usually when I do something stupid: so take a deep breath and finish with all your fingers toes lungs etc.
Great build inspirational to us all.

Looking fantastic, getting closer to paint. I would just stare at it in awe of the accomplishment. Unbelievable the amount of work you have put into this rig.

Thanks guys, it definitely feels good to be in the first coats of primer.
I started block sanding last night with 180. Finished 2 doors & half of the roof (sorry, no pics). After the first round of block sanding is complete I will spray another coat of 2k and then block sand again with 400/600. I'll try to snap some photos next time I am in the shop. Brandon

Stalling? What are you talking about? Because of that post, NO PICTURES for the next 3 weeks.
I'm just trying to report the progress.

You know I'm just jealous.
How fine are you planning to block it as far as primer/sealer coat?[Edit]Can't find/remember the reply.. You're gonna epoxy the door and pannel inners and innner lowers at this point also to keep the rust points good??
