`70 road runner, FC7, 383, 727 It`s waited long enough, finally time to get it done.

Latest sample of C7 In-Violet, going to spray it out as soon as garage warms up.

We have color! It's not much but the underside is primered and oversprayed with In-Violet. It is a bit of a milestone in the restoration for two reasons- first is that I am going to take it off the rotisserie and put it back on jackstands, second is when I do that it will free up a bay in the garage. Having a free bay in the detached garage will allow me to pull my Barracuda in to do some work on it and also give me more room to start working on parts for the road runner. I'll let it dry today and should have it spun and on stands tomorrow.

I haven't used my pressure blaster for a while as I have a bucket blaster I use for small jobs but I knew I would need it soon for some parts. I pulled it out of the corner and saw it needed a new seal and when I went to clean it out found a dead mouse carcass. :( I got the new seal installed and got the rear end housing blasted and in high build primer.
