Spraying and sealing
Over the last few days I have been working on getting the floor prepped inside and out. This is always labor intensive because if you skimp out on this part all your other hard work is wasted because the product won't stick. I finished up the body work on the rear shock absorber project and did some more on the firewall, the shock absorber panel turned out real nice. After I finished up all the metal work and body work I got the seam sealer out. The first area I sealed was the dash and cowl area, and then on to the floor seams and rear frame area. I used two different products to do this and will end up finishing it off with a sprayable seam sealer. The first product is in a caulking tube and I used this to get up in the tight areas under the dash, the second was a brushable seam sealer the I applied with a paint brush to the easy to access areas. After getting the seams all sealed I sanded the floor and prepped for the epoxy primer, I mixed up my product and sprayed the floor with three coats with a break of approx. 10 mins in between coats. I had the rear end housing prepped and ready to spray also so I put three coats on it at the same time. After I sprayed it all I looked it over and it looks real nice with no runs to speak of.
