New World Datsuns...

Good lord dude that paint turned out nice. you ever paint before?

I've done a few engine bays and a lot of Bondo work. It definitely looks better in pictures and from 10ft away. The $15 Harbor Freight HLVP spray gun couldn't spray the roof for shit. So I had to quickly get my old siphon feed gun to work, before clear coating the roof. That's why I sprayed all the panels hanging up-right.

I spent at least $800 on paint/primer/thinner/bondo/sand-paper/stripper/etc ... so I should have bought a better paint gun ...

These pics were taken in the fog ... so the trunk is wet, and covered in finger prints:

well still looks tons tons better dude

Looks sooo good.

I agree with them. Bitchin'!

I had the same problem with my HVLP, the primer was coming out like cottage cheese, I asked the paint store about it and they said there was a reason that they didn't sell HVLP systems, they didn't lay the paint/primer out smooth.
I had another paint gun that worked fine using my compressor, now it sprays on smooth, well mostly anyway.
I have not yet sprayed the paint yet, I keep finding places that need to be fixed before the paint.
Yours looks good though, my truck looks way better from across the street, I think I will have to spray mine off white.

Adds up quick, huh?

Got a box from Thailand:

I only needed the passenger side, cause I already had the left Euro-style taillight:

yes ... the passenger fender needs to be aligned better, but I think the door has to move up too

I plugged the fuel filler neck, at the tank ... and I ordered a modern filler neck and cap that I need to install
