Fixing up my ole 1100

Primed hood and grill pieces. I 80 gritted the inside and out of all the panels to bare metal. Wire wheeled the rust then straightened any dents with a dolly and hammer and alil bondo after sanding bondo i 180 gritted everything for primer

You're making some nice progress! Please keep us updated. :beerchug:

There will be more to come for sure!

Sounds good! Looking forward to them.

Update everything is ready for prime except the fiber glass dash piece. I will work on it tomorrow and sand and repair a small crack and hope to have it in the paint booth friday night! Then all my white pieces will be primed and ready for some white paint the following friday!

Appreciate the update!

Looking good. I have a can of that case ih primer and there are no specs or mixing info at all, i think it says mix with case ih reducer or something like that. What did u mix yours with and to what ratio? Thanks .Dave

I mixed 4 of primer and 1 of thinner (reducer) and 1 of valspar hardner to speed up the curing time 3 coats are plenty for me i will have to sand my fiber glass dash piece and prime again because the 1st 3 coats didnt fill the 180 scratches very well so this time i will 400 grit then prime

Frame is out to sandblast all white parts are primed and sat for a week to cure! Preping for paint now. Will spray some white in a week pics to come!

Sounds good! Looking forward to your pics.

Here is the color difference

Anyone tell me anything about the white color? Im using cub cadet paint

The new paint looks good!

In person it looks like a creamy vanilla. I think the quiet line series white was more plain white. Some one correct me if im wrong please!

The QL's were a plain white.

Thanks ACecil! Il get my whitt this week!

White pieces are all painted now time to work on the frame! Its coming along good!

Your parts are looking good! Thanks for showing us.

Looking real good! What white did you use first time and what did you use for your final coat? Trying to figure out what to use on my '75 1250. The underside of the hood looks like cream on mine and the inside of the wheel rims looks light almond. The outside of the white parts looks whiter but I assumed that was from weathering and oxidation.

Parts are looking real nice!:beerchug:

I like the home décor :biggrin2:

Frame is primed! Hope to have some color on it this coming week!

looking good cant wait to see it finshed.

Great news!
