I was working on a 1940 Ford I had sitting around for quite awhile and found a lot of parts missing.
Ok, no problem I'll build my 71 barracuda 426 Hemi.
Washed the body and primed it, orange peel showed up.
Ok, stripped the body using brake fluid, washed it in Dawn and tried priming again.
Still no good.
Stripped it agin and washed in Dawn.
Tried painting it black and the paint sputters out leaving bad areas of paint.
Stripped again and washed in Dawn.
Painted it metallic Blue. Seems ok right now.
Geez.
