Agreed! Nice work Don. You can be the Leo of hood hinges.

Time for an update. After my primer fiasco in December, I let the car sit till mid - late January to cure out more. Sanded all the improperly mixed primer off. Really gummed up the same paper fast. Probably took more off than I needed to but wanted to be sure to get all the bad stuff off so...

Thanks Don. Hope you enjoy your Christmas. Looks like you might have some snow as well. Pretty green around here. Bummer.

Been a while so here is an update. First thanks for the likes. Much appreciated. The sanding went far better than before. I ended up with just a couple of low spots that needing very little filler. Most of it was in the tail panel for some reason. Overall it came out pretty good. Here is...

Nice Don! Looks like I'm just falling farther behind you.... Isn't the sound deading material supposed to be painted over in the trunk? The untouched cars I've seen have had paint over the sound deading stuff.

The sanding didn’t go as well as I had hoped. Found some low spots and sanded down to the epoxy and even bar metal in some areas. Above the body line it came out pretty good (minimal issues) but different story below it. But at the end of the day there was a fair amount of grey primer left and...

Nice! Good luck Don!!

Finally some visible progress. Touched up the DP90 and cover it with evercoat finish sand polyester primer per the recommendations of my painter. Thick stuff. Only 60 min pot life. took a while to figure out the spray settings. Next I'll sand out the inside of the trunk and then the deck...

Well I'm working on it but just don't feel like I'm moving forward very fast.... Got the deck lid and right door reprimed after sanding and working on getting all the trim, taillights, and emblems fitted so the holes are all correct before I start repriming for hopefully the last time for the...

This might be it or close to it. The ones I saw were 18"x24" or so. https://www.faxonautoliterature.com/1968-B-Chassis-and-Engine-Equipment-Assembly-Manual-Reprint-Dodge-Charger-Coronet-Plymouth-Belvedere-GTX-Satellite

Probably 5 years ago I saw a set of assembly line instruction drawings at a local swamp meet. Wish I had bought a set. I'm sure they are out there somewhere.

Thanks for the comments and the likes. Not glamorous work but I've been sanding my *** off. Guide coated and filled where necessary the roof, 1/4s, tail panel, rear valance, filler panel, and rockers. Should be pretty smooth and flat now. Will hit it with more primer and a sand out with 320...

Looking great!!

Time for an update! Got the deck lid blasted, fixed low spots with metal to metal on the top and bottom sides, DP 90, and K36 primers. Also priming the trunk hinges, trunk spring rods, and 1/4 extensions. Reprimed the bar metal on the end of the car from sanding it out. Now going thru and...

Well after a very busy summer doing landscaping (glad that is not my full time job) and a busy fall and winter at the day job, I’m finally able to get back to the car. My plan is to have it into the body shop this year for paint. Yes, that is the plan!! Hope it all goes according to plan. I’m...

Good to see an update, Don!

Very brave Don. I don't think I would have taken a hood apart. Looks good! Nice job

Thanks for all the comments and constructive input. Chipping away at it. Upper cowl and associated brackets as well as the AC portion of the fire wall are all welded in. Been working on the door and fender installation to ensure I don’t have any more cutting and rewelding to do. I need to...

Good deal man. Still get down to Taylor once and a while but no. A couple of us used to meet up at the Trolley stop or Drinks Salon. Looked at your car thread. Good luck on yours. Looks like it's coming along.

Thanks Don. No final paint will go on the rustoleum. I planed on sanding off any that came thru the cowl vent and other openings.
