Hi Tom. Happy new year. It’s such a fine work you do. Can’t wait to see the end result. I just can’t say how much you inspire me to get out in my garage and get started on my old Volvo 445 from 1958. If you havn’t seen it then take a look on “trev’s blog” here on youtub, he is so cool and a true master in body work. My best wishes for you and yours in 2020.
Thank you and I'm so happy to hear that you are starting your own project. Doesn't hurt to try and if you get stuck just ask for help. Tons of people like Trev who can help! Happy New year!
@@GarageTimeAutoResto i like that you are meticulous on the Porsche there is alot to learn more about Porsche's my question to you is I live in 🇨🇦 what Porsche should I be looking for what year !!!
@@GarageTimeAutoResto 78 body style and the body is galvanized as i had said before there is alot for me to learn more about Porsche's Thank you kindly for responding back to me in 🇨🇦 #YSW I like watching your TH-cam videos !!!!!
Looking good, steady progress... not sure I have heard you talk about what you plan to do with the car once it is all back together... still a ways to go but I'm curious none the less.
Once it's painted, I will take a big breath and then focus on making it driveable. My goal has always been to have a driver for under $10k including the price of the car. I will do an update video very soon. I think the painting materials may have pushed me over budget????
@@GarageTimeAutoResto Finish paint (Glasurit 22) was the single biggest expense for my DIY build. Over $2k, but for a '72 Tangerine Orange I didn't want to skimp and then be disappointed in the outcome.
@@jg9112003 Great year and color👍 I don't blame you for spending up. My basecoat is only $240/gallon but when I add up the clear, primers, undercoat, cleaners, etc it's over $1k
If you had to do it all over again, would you have started with sanding the door jambs, and inside of the doors, prior to working on the exterior of the car? To me it seems counter productive to work on the exterior of the car, only to have to be extremely careful with the doors when leaving on the jambs for the end. Not sure though.
Thanks😃. I think the order is six of one half dozen of the other. I certainly should have fixed the driver's jamb dents before the exterior. It does require removing and reinstalling the doors one more time. The doors need to be on when block sanding the exterior. Even with the doors on there is still lots of overspray on the jambs. Unfortunately there aren't any major shortcuts that I know of. Paint and body work is just a lot of hard work. Another aspect is motivation and trying to keep the project rewarding. Why do you think I painted the dash a few months ago? Everyone is different, but the painting process isn't my favorite. My other Porsche was professionally painted and I will share that car soon. He did the exterior first also. There are other viewers here who are more experienced than me. Speak up, what do you do?
Happy New Year to you and your family Tom. Without doubt painting is the fun part of car restoration! Unfortunately I cant pain anything here at home atm as was 46 (115f) degrees celcius here yesterday :(
That's great that you shot the insides and undercarriage body color. I know 'technically' the purists want black on the insides, but I think the flat black is so ugly and cheap looking. Body color looks fantastic there.
I don't get why you'd go straight to DG from epoxy primer when a single solid coat of high build would likely fill most small scratches and pinholes and keep you from burning through to metal... Seems like cheep insurance in terms of conservation of time. I love dolphin glaze I just hate burn through! Regards, G
Fair point😃. On the exterior panels 2K is a must. Underneath the hood already has plenty of factory paint with a few deep divots that I didn't think the 2k would fill. The nice thing about DG is I can repair small spots without softening the edge seam details with heavy 2K coats. If I went to bare metal on the undersides and jams then there wouldnt be as many defects, but that is way more work.

It's looking really nice. Love your attention to detail. Happy New Year.
Happy New year to you and pops as well😃
@@GarageTimeAutoResto i like that you are meticulous on the Porsche there is alot to learn more about Porsche's my question to you is I live in 🇨🇦 what Porsche should I be looking for what year !!!
I would look for a 78 or newer. The bodies are galvanized and not as rusty as the earlier cars.

So close to paint!!
😃😃😃😃
I’m late again today, I’ve been out in the garage most of the day, I should be ready to spray some epoxy myself. Awesome as usual!
Glad to hear that you are making progress!
Making some great progress Tom.
Thanks Russ! I'm ready for this paint milestone to be over!
Nice. Thank you.
Cheers
inspiring! thanks
Cool, thanks for watching!

Good job, Tom. I'm interested to see how the dolphin glaze goes. I probably should have used that.
It's kind of a cross between body filler and primer that you spread easily. I'm lazy and don't want to clean the spray gun again!
@@GarageTimeAutoResto lol, I don't blame you. I've seen that Barry at SPI likes the stuff, so that should be good enough for anyone!
The mixing ratio is kind of subjective, but it always seems to work well. I give it plenty of time before sanding anyhow
Hi Tom, good progress again this week👍
I wouldn’t have dared use the heat gun on the door having finished the outside so nicely
I know cringey right? I didn't wear gloves so I could feel how hot it was. No different then an Arizona summer🌞

Oh, that's hot. I hope you aren't close to the fires!!!
Garage Time - Restomod I am pretty close unfortunately mate. Luckily they haven’t got any closer than about 5km (3miles) Wow is it worldwide news??
@@mickholgate3347 Yes, big news. Be safe!

Thanks Andy. I only really care about the engine bay and trunk area. Lots of work put into those areas on my car.
First!
