Where I Started

Where I Started
This is how my Roadrunner looked when I bought it

So many cars, so little time.

When I finished the hood I had to put my restoration on hold. I had three other more pressing projects to complete.
I had bought a wrecked Tiburon to repair and I had to paint my son’s car and girlfriend’s truck.
The Tiburon is to be my work car, I drive allot of miles for work and needed a car that wasn’t too expensive.
My son’s car and my girlfriend’s truck needed to be painted. They both were suffering from what I call EPA disease. In the early to mid 90’s the EPA forced the auto manufacturers to reformulate paint to reduce VOC’s (volatile organic compounds) this caused a problem with adhesion between the primer and topcoat. I’m sure you all have seen cars driving around with the paint falling off; well you can thank the EPA for this.

I didn't take any before pictures, but here is one when we were stripping it.

Drying






And finished


I don't have any pictures of the truck.
