[mnypitTR8]

OK here it is. All block sanded out and ready for paint, probably going to do that on Sunday.

Don't forget to tape up the beer bottle [:p]

I'd also advise a light (guide) coat of black paint to check for imperfections. Spray on and sand down. Imperfections will show of quite nicely.

Yeah, I know, but it isnt going to be a show car. I am no expert body guy, so I dont expect any rewards. I am building a nice driver. I have blocked it and reprimed it twice now, so I figure that should be good enough for a nice driver. If I planned on an all out show stopper, unfortunately, it wouldnt be a $3000 TR7. I would probably start with a decent TR8, or ?? Hell for what I have in this one allready, I could have bought a nice TR8.

Hey,

You're one step ahead of me!!!!!!! [8D] My car is that wonderful grey, too. But you beat me on the block sanding[;)]

I hope mine will be back on the road in 3 weeks[^] a beautiful carmine red with black sills and trim.

The prep work looks great! Good luck with the paint.

I have a gallon of Garnett red for this one.

John, nice job so far! Where in the US are you located?

[jclay (RIP 2018)]

John is in Florida!

Peri? How close does that match your red hair?

John? Close fit on that pick-up!

[mnypitTR8]

Thats funny. 3/4 ton extended cab longbed 4x4. I could probably just drive the TR7 up into the bed and carry it around. It just barely fits in the garage, but I keep it behind the house normally. I use it about 12 times a year to tow a camper or my cars. I dont like to drive my Camaro to the track, in case I blow it up. Its a long walk home.

Peri, now you have started discussing your hair colour, you are duty
bound to post a pic, so we can tell for ourselves. Particularly for
those of us, who are too far away to be likely to meet you at a
show, or something.

Hasbeen,

I'll post a pic just as soon as the car is done and I figure out how to do that. [:I]

Peri [:D]
