Prime time
We picked up the freshly cleaned body of our Super Sports on short notice and painted it with epoxy primer to inhibit immediate corrosion. The body looked like brand new metal, thanks again to American Metal Cleaning!
At the metal cleaners…
…look at the shiny metal!
We placed the body on a cart for easy movement.
We were able to tip the car on its side to sand and paint the bottom!
After lightly sanding the whole car, we welded some holes in the rear left fender and fixed some bent metal (the flange on the front left seam was bent back slightly). After vacuuming the dust away and removing our tools from the area, it was time to paint!
It seems like the pitting in the floor was caused by water trapped under the original floor mats.
We will lightly sand this coat and then use filler primer and Bondo to smooth out the imperfections.
