The Daytona: May 27, 2003
by Russ Knize on May.27, 2003, under Daytona
I think I have decided what paints I am going to use. In the interest of not having to worry about rusting under the primer, I will take the body down to metal, spray with POR-15 clear, POR-15 tie-coat primer, and PPG color and clear coats. The underbody and fenders will get the POR-15 underbody treatment in semigloss black. That should intomb the metal for all eternity. I also need to think about how I am going to weld in the plates to patch up the underbody and straighten-out the front end. At the moment, the driver’s side door is partially stripped and the rear end is in the air so that I can investigate the squeaky brakes and bleed the lines. As usual, the bleeders snapped off when I tried to remove them, so hopefully I will be able to extract them. If not, new cylinders are only $15.
