Re: 1967 Starcraft Jet Rebuilding
So plenty of updates, in the recent days I've had a chance to put 4 coats on each side with the hardener. She is looking beautiful, just the right color. Few mistakes but I'm okay with it, gives character right? Mistakes like pain run in one sport that you can barely see, but since I know about it, can't take my eyes of it. Tried sanding, but unless I sand to which ever coat, she don't want to disappear. So lesson learned, either a bad mix or too much paint. Wasn't runny after 10 minutes, came back next day, they there were, running lines down.
In any case, I'll take pictures and post them soon.
Also the side rail will need work. Taping, well even the best would get these I think. No way was the paint going through but it did. So that will need some work as final touches.
I've also spent the time the last two days, putting on Gluvit. Actually its little bit different stuff but with very good comparative reviews. I'll take pic and post the name soon too. Smells like the JB weld stuff, really it does. Even looks like it after mix.
Anyways with all that done, she's going on the trailer to do the paint roll and start working on the back, interior and engine mount.
I'll post photos soon, its crappy down here weather wise. Sorry guys. Just thought a quick update on progress would help keep thread in motion.
Anyone know the size and length of the 2 or 3 big bolts on the transom, left and right? I think I've got two, might put 1 or 2 extra per side. More strength.
