Seam Seal on the trunk, floor boards and around the welds in the back seat area.
I am planning on completing the trunk area with Duplicor TSP102 Spatter Paint. The interior floor pans will have U-POL Raptor Black Truck Bed Liner..

Things are now beginning to take shape at home. Laid down the Seam Sealer and completed the Spatter Paint in the trunk.

No, not yet. We are to the point of priming, and edging the trunk, doors, hood and fenders. I painted the underside of the hood and sprayed 2 coats of clear.

Spent yesterday prepping the doors, hood, fenders and the front nose for paint. I ran out of time and will get there today. Hopefully will "squirt" some primer and get them edged today!...

Thanks Z4!
Saturday was something awfully special to me. Other than having the opportunity to work on my '71 Lemans, Clark advised me at 12:00 that he was going to call it a day I asked him if It would be okay if I stay and finish up the prep work on the fenders, doors and hood. He said this, "You can stay for as long as you want. As a matter of fact, you know where everything is, know how to mix and shoot primer. When you get that done, go ahead and shoot the final edging with "Blu" and seal it with Clear Coat"... WOW!! The trust this man has in me simply blows me away! So after all of that and cleaning all the paint guns as they should along with the paint room, making sure the business is secure, this is the end result of 10 hrs. at Basic Body and Paint! Thanks my friend for entrusting me with your business! You are one of a kind Clark Gick!...

Oh Shiny! It is hard to explain just how much I enjoy myself at Basic Body and Paint. The "things" I have learned in the 6 months I have been around the shop is AMAZING!!... ..and to think that an old retired Business Service Technician from CenturyLink could pick up on this trade was probably our of the question....But, none the less...here I am!...

That Lemans is starting to look absolutely "Biyu"-tiful Kurt! So excited to see some color!
I might have to learn how to shoot primer and paint like you do now, it looks smoooooooth.

This is what we got accomplished yesterday. Clark Gick sprayed the door hinges/bolts "Blu" 💙. I spent the day masking off the interior and put down some U-POL bed liner. Should be the ticket....
