Getting Messy
Time to undercoat the body. It was as messy as expected and little more.
First we took it off the buck, flipped it over, and supported it with some 2x4s wrapped in rags.

Then I we cleaned the body twice and I made my oldest scuff the underside of the body She wants to take her driving permit test in a week so we have a little leverage for a change -- actually she was quite a good sport about it and was willing to help.

I went through with a brush and established some boarders trying to leave an inch and half from each edge. But there was some running the made me wish I had taped instead. Not a big deal just an annoyance. Shouldn't have been lazy.

Then I got my youngest to do most the rolling work. At least for the first coat.


Hopefully we'll get the body on in Jan and move on to fitting doors, hood, trunk, and windscreen.
