Tub will need some work before paint, not bad but some weld clean-up and scratches to work-out. You can see the weld lines from the fender wells etc. I think it is slightly raised and will need sanding. Some where I read an estimate of 20 to 40 hours for a good prep job.

Is that 20-40 hours of professional prep on just the tub?
Or are we talking all DIY prep? I just received my tub for a '79. I have some of the same scratches you're talking about. I'll be several months behind you so keep us posted!Jeremy

I understood that to be DIY prep by someone who know what to do and was just for the tub.

My tub should be in on next thursday now. I can't wait. I am ready to cut the old tub off tomorrow and pick up the paint tomorrow I'm still torn on where to paint it. Anyway, apparently I don't have the patience that you guy's have.... Actually I've got two weeks of vacation coming to me next week and it's time to hit it hard. I'll post some pics when the tub arrives
