Aftre the first round of blocking, I did the areas I suspeted of needing work. Not too bad

Block sanding takes forever it seems..

are you going to spray the color yourself too ?

Love the all black look

any chance youll have it done by the Camaro Nats? Blacked out 2nd gens are sweet!

rydeer · 03-09-2012, 02:19:01 PM

It is 2k high build primer. Blocking isn't bad, I removed all the black paint by hand. That was forever!! I may spray the base coat, I will not spray the clear here. I can't keep it clean enough. The base I can wet sand.
I'm keeping the trim and bumpers black. The only chrome I'll have are lug nuts and centercaps! I'm thinking brite red with black stripes for paint. I'm going to do the wheelwells and rad support body color also.

When are the nats. I'm hoping to be done in a couple of months. How Joursey are you? Philly or NY?

Looks great keep the pictures coming. Are you going to tuck the bumpers??

rydeer · 03-12-2012, 01:38:04 PM

Thanks for the encourgement. I think I'm going to leave the bumpers alone for now. Maybe next winter Ill want to mess with that. Im going to run out of steam on this. Blocking is going along nicely.

The weather is really nice here this week so I need to tend to and use some other toys.

Wicked pipes on the chopper!

rydeer · 03-12-2012, 03:54:15 PM

Thanks I hand built the pipes and chassis. It's actually a 1974 superglide,heavily modified.

She's out in the sun

Thinking carbon fiber on the scoop with a carbon fiber stripe down the center of the trunk. It'll have the 1/4" pinstripes

Just about ready for 2nd coat of prime and final block.

Heads up to all using factory hoods. I would not have noticed this if I hadn't been sanding. The factory has "fold areas" or "crumple zones" right in front of the hinges. They were very cracked!! I think the hood would have folded if I hadn't caught this. I left extra weld on there to be safe!!
