The drivers jamb is sealed and the passenger side is apart and sanded down,had to apply a little filler on the pass side some of the old filler was cracked and loose.

made some more progress today,the jambs are primed with 2k primer/filler,and if there are no problems to be fixed i will spray the base/clear coat tomorrow :banghead:

 

[SmokinBBC]

Ahhhhhhh...more progress:thumbs:

 

[kwplot34]

Ahhhhhhh...more progress:thumbs:

I have spent 2 weeks on these jambs :smash: they better look good when i get done :thumbs:

When i get the jambs all done i still can't hang the doors,purchased all the parts to rebuild the hinges while i was there,and dang it if the springs are not on back order :suicide:

I install them on the car using a bent screwdriver. Takes a little finesse, but not too bad. Tap up the bottom of the spring once it's in place. It will bottom out and lock in place.

Painted the jambs today,put on the base coat,then an hour later applied the clear coat. I think it turned out pretty good,the clear in spots has more orange peel than others so i guess i will have a little wet sanding to do. That clear coat is sticky mess :suspicious:

 

[MYBAD79]

Hmmmm...... shiny black..... looks good..... keep the pics coming

Hey what are you guys using for rubbing and polishing compound after the wet sanding.

Pretty shiny black,can't wait to see the whole car done
But lot's of work still to be done.

 

[MYBAD79]

I wetsanded 2000 and 2500, had to use 1500 in a few spots..... used Evercoat rubbing compound and dark glaze with a $30 harbor freight buffer - cheap :3rd:

I have lots of this stuff leftover, incl foam, buffing pads and wool pads.... I can send it to you, I won't need it until my KarmannGhia is painted...

I would like to use it :yahoo: when will you have the Ghia painted? I want to rub out the jambs before i install the doors,but probably won't have the rest of the car painted for another couple of month's. I have plenty of wet sand paper ranging from 1500-2500.

 

[MYBAD79]

I don't think I'll have the Ghia painted anytime soon.... PM me your address again and I'll get the box ready

Thanks Karsten :drink:

It's on it's way: the buffer, several foam pads (use the black 3M pad only for the dark glaze), the rubbing compound, glaze, wool pad.... you should have it by Tuesday (Priority USPS).

Use water with the rubbing compound, it's messy but works really good ... start on a slow speed setting, otherwise it'll throw the stuff all over your walls.... :thumbs:

Well today was the last day to use any types of firearm for deer hunting,so i got back to work on the vette,got the door put back on the drivers side its still not aligned to my liking but its close,but it never was perfect.The hardest part of this whole ordeal was getting all those wires back through the door where they belong UMMMFFF :sweat: get the passenger on tomorrow and back to the body work.

BTW: deer season is not over yet,i can bow hunt till Jan 15

OH! sometimes i get distracted and side tracked,but you are right if i would put the sandpaper to the car instead of my hand,this project would probably move along a little faster h:

But my hands are smooth now :nuts:
