Hi guys, All of the sheet metal for my '70 is supposed to be available by the end of this month. I definitely want to do the front-end work myself but I'm sure I will have to have the back-end (welding) work done by a shop. I may also try to paint it myself since this is something I have always wanted to learn to do.
Any tips you can give about what kind of paints and tools to buy would be great. I want to paint the back-sides of the new fenders with some kind of rustproofing paint and am also wondering if you guys paint your inner fenders or leave them bare. I also need recommendations for exterior primers and paints, and any feedback about paint guns, etc. I think I am going to have to do the same thing with this car that I did with the El Camino, which is to get it into nice driver condition and hope to do a real restoration later. This time around it doesn't have to come out perfect, but hopefully I will not spend nearly as much money and will learn something (and as the guy from Apex Technical School says, I'll go home with my very own set of professional tools). Thanks, John Nasta
