As mentioned, I did get a chance to do some more work on the Bianchina before one of those Corvair guys interrupted me. The front of the car and the right front fender are done. Coming down the home stretch now.
If you find these pictures boring, wait until I show the pictures of the paint drying. GGGG

I had a chance to do some more sanding yesterday. Finished the top and did the whole left side plus the dash. I plan to get some more sanding in today if all goes well.

The last day or two has been very exciting, I've been wet sanding the car. The excitement is mounting and I don't know if I can contain myself. NOT!!! Did I mention I HATE sanding? Oh, Okay, I hate sanding. Took two days to get started but couldn't put it off anymore. I hate sanding. The top is half done and both doors are done. I hate sanding. In the pictures, the orange is a guide coat I was using to judge the flatness and to show up any flaws. I don't think I will use a guide coat from now on, I can see and feel the difference. I hate sanding. I'll finish the top next and then move on to the rest of the body. I hate sanding. BUT, I am making progress.

Oh, I hate sanding.

HAH! Bet you all thought I wouldn't get this done today. Fooled ya! Got the new high build primer on and am now ready to start block sanding with 400 grit. AND I have no one waiting for Corvair work. Yay and Booo, like the extra time but will miss the extra money.

Sorry

I am both embarrassed and chagrined about the length of time it took to get back to this project. I had two "Corvairs from Hell" in the shop and they took almost a year to get rid of. However, I'm back on the Bianchina. I had repaired a few spots that I missed in the weird light on the left side of the shop. I sanded and resprayed epoxy primer on the spots. I am planning on spraying high build primer on them tomorrow after scuffing everything with a Scotchpad. When that is dry, I can start wet sanding and blocking to prepare for the color coat. At this point, I am refusing to accept any more Corvair work until this is accomplished. Wish me luck, assuming there is anyone left out there still following this account. The pictures show the repairs and then the black epoxy over them.

I did get the spots touched up but forgot to take pictures until yesterday. I need to get some more epoxy primer and respray the spots. Then cover with high build primer again. For right now, I had to move it to the other side of the shop, sick Corvair coming in.

See? Told you I'd be back soon. Life has a way of knocking hell out of your plans. After I finished the two big Corvair jobs,  I was all ready to move the Bianchina back to the working stall in the shop.

Before that happened, I had a chance to buy a friend's Snap-on toolbox and all his tools. It took quite a while to find space for the box, weed out all the duplicate tools, and find room for the added ones.

Finally got that done and noticed right before moving the little car that I wasn't really ready to start block sanding yet. Under different lighting I could see a groove running right along the fender crease on the right side. I also found a couple spots on the rear that weren't right, so, out came the body filler and a skim coat was added to these spots. That's the yellow in the pictures. Tomorrow I'll sand these and if okay, go get another quart of high build primer and respray the car. Hopefully I'll be able to block sand and get the finish coats on before I have to move the car again.

You can also see my wall of toolboxes behind the car. I couldn't find anything when I was done with the sorting out. I had to label all the drawers so I could find the tool needed at the moment. I also probably have a touch of CRS which doesn't help.
