So
much of our work so far, has consisted of fitting mechanical parts
and then removing them. There is little visible progress on the
car. This is finally going to change. We are almost
ready to close up the bottom of the car. But first, we paint.
Painting
a roll cage in place is not the easiest of jobs. We weight removing
the windshield, but decide against it. Instead we use lots of newspaper.
We
clean the metal with acetone and then use a primer. A small spray
gun applies the acrylic paint.
For
those hard to reach spots, we use a touch up brush.
The
end result is good.
We
cover our freshly painted bars and install the motors. We could do
this after the floor is on but now is easier.
