The high build primer that was used on the previous paint job was hard as a rock. So difficult to cut, the removal was quite inadequate. Some places, where the blaster paused were deeply scared. I ended up stripping most of it by hand with the long board and various blocks. This is how she sits today

I will block her one more time with 150. Most of the gray will be gone. It is very hard, difficult to sand and smells a bit like vinegar when sanded.
At any rate, my plan is to apply 3 coats of epoxy and block again to find low spots. I will decide on high build after that. May not be necessary. I will do the 64 at the same time

Sure looks more like a Barracuda to me

Nice! I see the 64 has the raised pads on the doors, so it must be a very early production car. My father has a daytona blue 64 coupe that was built in October of 1963 and it had the raised pads as well. I say had because a trailer came off of a car hitch back in the nineties and plowed into the original driver's door. We couldn't locate another door with a raised pad, so we changed them to the later style doors without the raised pads.

Well, isn't that something, my split window is an October car. Ill have to look at the actual VIN to see what the production number is.

Vette looks great! Almost looks like a freshly molded body.
