Well, tent is down and the car is back in its home ready for re-assembly. The job turned out nice for some one with limited painting experience. Took 2 hours to take the tent down and box it up. Few pics of the air pump and the ice box that cooled the supply air to the hood and suit. I don't think I would of been able to stand the heat with out the tub full of ice cooling it down. Used a 75 quart cooler of Ice in the tub (all melted in the pics) and the copper tub transfers the heat fairly well. May take a clean smaller radiator and adapt fittings on it and dunk it under the ice water next time or add some more tub to the line now to get a little better transfer. All in all Im happy with the job, with all paint, sand paper, tent, and air supply pump kit and fans it was still under $1500 to do every thing form primer to finish. The cheapest local shop wanted $5000. So I saved $3500 and it feels good to do something yourself especially when you cant afford to pay someone else. The hot rods flatzs hugger orange matted color looks good, defiantly different than a high gloss job but im really liking it. Now just to place the pieces back on, get the new wheels & tires mounted and then she will be ready to hurt some fellings.
