March 27, 20205 yr Author comment_595567 Yup. Patience is key. I spotted a couple flaws that will need touching up before seal coat too. As expected...!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/50908-1976-280z-restoration-project/?&page=256#findComment-595567 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 27, 20205 yr comment_595568 I'll absolutely give you a high-five! With the current exchange rate, does that work out to a high-seven and a half or something by the time it gets to you? I love the crisp body line down the whole side. Especially where bodywork often muddies it out over the rear wheel arches. Looks great!

March 27, 20205 yr Author comment_595574 Thanks guys! I’m glad I got my MSA order in last month! Saved about $50 in exchange rate. Still a few things to order but I’m gonna wait till the dollar recovers a bit.

March 27, 20205 yr Author comment_595605 Sanding is going awesome! Slow but the results are good. So satisfying to see the roof sand out flat...!

March 27, 20205 yr Author comment_595628 First pass of the long block over the hi build on the door. The dent and repair took many hours of sanding and filling, but now I see it was all worth it! Flat!!!

March 28, 20205 yr Author comment_595661 All sanded. Feels smooth like glass! Now to wash the whole car with soap and water, then re-mask the car and spray sealer before the base coat.

March 31, 20204 yr Author Popular Post comment_595863 Seal coat sprayed this morning !The finish was good but not smooth as it was before I sprayed the seal coat. So I broke down and sanded it all down again with 1000 grit, just enough to bring the glass like feel to the panels again. Tomorrow is the day for paint!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/50908-1976-280z-restoration-project/?&page=256#findComment-595863 Share on other sites More sharing options...
