Various. Nason Fulthane uerethane on the cast and engine. IH Silver argent with hardener on rims. IH2150 with hardener 6 coats on tin. After 3 months wet sanded with 400 and shot six more. After 3 months wet sanded with 1200 and polished with Makita polisher, and progressive finer polish. Also used a sealer prior to first paint on the tin/fenders.
You don't want to hear how much I spent at Auto Body specialties for materials.It's really a one off resto.
And this was my "learner" tractor for the SMTA project. (I have done a few cars, 55 Bird, 57Chev, 56 Chev convert, 50 Merc)

I could use my stimulus check. right don't think that would even pay for the sandpaper. Is this to play in the dirt with?

glennster · Mar 27, 2009

GordoSD · Mar 27, 2009

Nope. A trailer queen, as it's going to the auction this summer. SuperHII and 966 are my dirt boys.

Walk into the dealership in 49 and eyball the future. Very nice. Jim

Wow! That was a lot of paint work! Does it look like a Porche?

GordoSD · Mar 27, 2009

Yep, and I had you in mind all the time! Every time I picked up that primer gun and shot three more coats of surfacer on it I cussed you

Thanks for the motivation. So sad there isn't one Porche in this town to compare it to. But it holds its own against the new Dodge duallys, which is all we see here.
