Got it in primer last night(still some places that need some attention) and he's working on the front clip. It's going flat black(he wanted gloss, but I talked him into flat by reminding him how much work would be involved to go gloss...he thinks flat would look cool now)
 
looks good! not sure why people will spray primer with no resperator and then put it on for the paint. Had a nose bleed for 2 days after shooting epoxy primer that way!
 
Looks good , nice to see your son doing a lot of the work . That's memories that will last a lifetime. My son and I are doing a 49 dodge..Keep up the good work
 
got some under coating on the inside early this afternoon before my son came home from school..
