Builds Project Rosie Ruby the Poverty Princess

[Broski]

There is one decent ledge section that you'll need to climb that has potential to mar the princess. It'll climb it easy enough.

There a bypass

Roof is bare metal. Windshield and rear glass are out.

All of the panels were sanded in 80 grit with a DA sander in preparation for epoxy primer.

Any updates? Love seeing the progress on this thread.

All the bodywork is done. The rocker is finished. Almost primer time.

2 coats of epoxy primer and two coats of high build urethane primer. Will block sand then spray more primer, block sand again then it’s ready.

Looking awesome. Do you apply cavity wax or similar at this stage to any of the body part cavities, such as in the rockers under the doors?

Yes, Cavity wax through the entire area I replaced, which is the passenger rocker. I have some wand extensions that reach pretty far into tight areas. On the backside of the welds from patching the flare holes I will use epoxy primer, then seam sealer.

WOW! Beautiful! I may have missed it earlier in the thread, but any chance that is a Porsche color?

Yes, what Johnny said. Is that what you were thinking @Montana Cruiser?

@shellb @Cruisers and Co - There is a 911 down the street from me and I've always admired the color, yours looked a lot like it, always hard to tell with different lighting etc. Beautiful work, maybe someday my 80 can go in for a spa treatment.

My eyes and brain were playing tricks on me and I thought those door hinges were further back in the depth of field more in line with the doors and I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out what those gigantic things were...I knew that wasn't what 3rd Row seat brackets looked like...LOL!
