minor setback
customer does not like the color and has decided to take the original color 050 white
so I re-sanded the bottom, sanded the rest of the inside and outside.

before I take the car off the rotisserie I treat the Inside of the rails and sills so I can move the car side to side for good penetration.

I love these thin hoses.

I never heard of a cavity spray. How does it work may I ask? I'm in the process of getting mine ready to go on a rotisserie and am looking for all of the advice I can get.

Joel · « **Reply #164 on:** March 26, 2017, 19:06:22 »

the cavity spray is necessary after repairs, to protect the insides and inaccessible places against corrosion. I used as much as possible rust converters and primers for the cavities and the cavity spray is a protection wax against moisture and new rust.

but at their website you will find more explanations:

johnk · « **Reply #165 on:** March 26, 2017, 20:37:40 »

thanks Joel. I know several places I will use it now.

finally back on the dolly

Now the rotisserie is out of the way I primed the front cross member and the rear panel.

Joel · « **Reply #168 on:** April 03, 2017, 19:37:32 »

painted the gear box tunnel and front battery protection board flat black yesterday and brought the car back today. Almost 1 year and 2 months later.

I hope some people found it interesting so far. Now it will take a while until I get back the car for the final fit and finish of the panels and the final paint.
