x 3  Will I be able to drive it a few times this summer, if I help sand, mask, and hold your beer when your painting? Oh boy, Dave! SWMBO has spoken... only a fool would not consider that VERY carefully!  And (not that what I think matters!), I like all of the paint schemes posted! The black looks best in the show room, but that coppery colour might be best in the real world. John

So is it to be black now???
The clear coat doesn't care what it goes over, and none of the primer cares what's over it...
We'd just need some black base coat, the sunburnt copper base would look good on the 77 ford pickup.....
Something clever here.

The only reason I have a black vehicle (two) is because I don't live on (or near) a gravel road or have a gravel driveway. I would not recommend it to anyone if they do. It will be dirty right after you wash it. Tough shade if you want to keep it looking nice. The copper is great for hiding dust and dirt.

The copper will look superb, like the car was forged out of a block of solid copper!

this also could work... ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/414294_2251694817429_Original1.jpg) That is my vote. x 2 x 3 Will I be able to drive it a few times this summer, if I help sand, mask, and hold your beer when your painting? Dave, gotta agree with the wife here. Black.....no girly roof either. Hows her driving record?

sorry. I like the copper. The black looks like a hoodmobile. Not that my opinion matters.
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

I got a little blasting done tonight, not the best because my blasting nozzle was missing and I couldn't find one in town at any of the stores. So I had to make a temporary one out of a 1/8" pipe cap with some gringing and a small hole drilled in the end. It worked good enough to get things cleaned well enough for a coat of POR15, tomorrow. ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/102_5754.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/102_5755.jpg)

I've never seen a quart of paint put up this kind of fight, seriously, is this normal? ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/102_5760.jpg) not open yet... ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/102_5761.jpg) finally... ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/102_5762.jpg) mess and all... ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/102_5763.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/102_5764.jpg) I test fit the trunk floor pan and marked it from under the car for drilling the holes that will be plug welded to the frame rails. The green tape is to keep the weld surfaces clean. I peeled the tape and sprayed those areas with a weld through zinc primer.
