More progress last weekend, forgot to post here with pics so time for a little catch up! I got the whole floor pan epoxy primed, and got about half way through the engine bay. Unfortunately the spray gun started being a jerk and I couldn't get it to behave before I started getting a lil "heat strokey" out in the sun.

I spent some time yesterday doing a good amount of sanding in preparation for tomorrow morning. I'll be getting out there early and finishing the epoxy. After that, Sunday morning early I will be out there doing the color coat in good ol GG-1 green! Nervous as hell for that one, but I have some speed shapes to practice on before pointing the spray gun at the car. I am not going for "100k resto" quality, but hopefully as nice or a bit nicer than factory.
Side note, for months I have been driving past a wagon under a cover literally half a block from my new house and saying to myself "I swear that looks like a Coronet." Turns out, I was right! Saw it with the cover off for the first time. I need to try and catch the owner and say hey. Super cool to have two 66/67 cars living so close to each other!

I also discovered that one block the other direction there is a clean '55 Chevy up on jack stands being worked on, and an Jaguar XJ8 that is really similar to my daily driver XJR. Knew I wanted to meet the neighbors when I eventually move in, but now I am more excited than before!
