Hi all,
I am eager to get to work on my '59 rear clip, and was wondering all of your thoughts on doing prep work on the body. The body has been stripped of its original silver paint prior to my buying it, and I wondered what you all thought I should do next?
I have a DA sander and an air compressor, and wondered the following:
1. since this is my first time w/fiberglass, do I go with the most minimal grit sanding discs?
2. how would be the best way for me to primer the body, and what is the most recommended type of primer? I don't have a spray gun at this time, but wouldn't mind buying one if I can get some instruction from "the experts" 8^]
Thanks,
CHEV66JB
