Bodywork on Firewall (March 23 - 29, 2013)


This post covers the bodywork on the firewall area. The metal work came out pretty smooth but there were some areas that needed just a skim coat of filler to be ready for paint.

  
    


Smiley face...she must be happy !  LOL











Filler work complete, ready for primer filler.




I like to use Z-Chrome. It is self etching so it can be applied to bare metal if necessary. It builds nicely and lays out well. I applied this with a primer gun.







First coat sanded with 180 to get everything "flat."





2nd coat of Z-chrome. I thinned this coat a bit to lay down smoother. Didn't need a lot of build for this coat, basically just filling sanding scratches.




More sanding.....







Final sanding with 400 grit.




Ready for paint.
