    Auto stores (Repco Auot Pro etc) tend to charge heaps more for it. Find a local auto paint supply shop, they will usually give you a better deal (and qualified advice) on all the stuff you need like wet 'n dry sand paper, bog, paint, thinners and can recommend what to use etc.

    My hat off to you! Working so well with great results in such a small work area.
    Thanks for your regular updates, I'm looking forward to the next.

    Room , at the moment, is not a real problem as the panels are in 1/3 of my garage. I've sent my block of flats....oops....I mean my 67 Impala down the road to a mates warehouse that he calls his sandpit. Man, you should see the sandpit I'll see if he'll let me take pics of the "memorabillia warehouse". Anyway, I've got the van in the double bay of my shed but, because it rained AGAIN yesterday, I had to put the hotrod back in with the van so I could leave the panels where they were. A couple of sickies this week should see the panels ready for paint. I've also had a few "last minute" repairs to do but am still on track (I think....I hope) to get to the spray booth on Wednesday week.

    I'd love to have a bigger shed but Mrs GTS cant comprehend a 10 acre block of land with a 9.5 acre garage on it.....Oh, and a house as well..?

    The panels are where the Chev is parked.....



    The van is being built in the double bay.......

    Unreal! that is a great colour. After all that rust cutting and welding that is a massive achievement.
