First Paint

Mark the date, an important milestone has been achieved.

I am calling it..... First Paint.

The hood is primed, the fenders are being restored to bare metal and the grille has not been touched. But none of those body parts have received a coat of paint.

When I attached the fenders, I do not want them coming in contact with rust and dirt. So the front of the tub, needs to be cleaned, primed and painted. Here is the very first part of the tub being cleaned, primed and painted.

SIDEBAR - the square holes to the left on the tub was where the heater was located. Made a big mess with antifreeze, and found a mouse den, cemetery. Not pretty.
