It warmed up today enough to get more painting in.
This round was Priming the Fenders, sanded and added another few coats to the Extractors, and the Hood underside and Shaker Scoop outer. It is amazing how the Primer shoots shiny with a ton of OP, but drys almost dead flat ready to sand. Nice Stuff.

Completed the order for the Forgeline Snowflake Wheels today. 20" x 9.5" fronts, 20 x 11" rears. Blew any budget with these in the wheels, but they are awesome. Thanks again Forum guy's for picking the nosebleed expensive one's. You can buy a decent starter car for the price of these.
Then customized them to include adding in the correct 1977 Red Bird Insert into the machined TA3 Center Cap. Now need to decide on Tires - 275's front, prob 305s or 315's rear. Brand TBD.

Assessed the EOS ZL1 Phastek Rockers fit to the OEM Rockers, after sitting in the Box for awhile. They are, hmmmmm, really cheezy, and returning them. Can't imagine how in hell to make them fit well and adhere to the OEM Rockers, the Web Videos are comical. Moving on with this one, no chance using someting like this. I will stay with the repainted OEM rockers or get the correct Zl1 replacements that snap in and replace the OEM's.

Plan is to Prime the remaining big parts, have a wet sanding party, and shoot BC/CC, or more Primer and sanding until perfect if necessary to ensure the Top Coats don't require excessive work. So may take a few Prime and Sand iterations to get the parts ready for BC/CC. Will not compromise this.
