Straight lines....





When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

SWEET! One of the things I look at on cars at shows...are the body lines synchronized and straight! That is going to make the paint job look so excellent!

The gaps are maybe the best I've seen on anything. Especially considering the speed those guys are working at.
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe

Thanks.
I am extremely pleased with the work they are doing. The gap on the passenger side trunk/quarter panel was off (the area marked with green tape), so they Mig welded some brass on the trunk edge and blended it to straighten the gap; perfection!



The finished gap:

I went by tonight (about 20 minutes ago actually) to watch him put down the 3 heavy coats of Duratec.

The artist at work:



Most of this will get sanded off when they block the car...

What's Duratec must not be very toxic just wearing a cheap face mask?

I assume Duratec is a high-build primer?? I believe ALL automotive finishes are toxic, but I did notice he appears to have a very high transfer rate with his gun, as there is next to nothing on the floor and the air is very clear. Hell, when I spray, the air is so fogged I can barely see.
