I ended up extending the paint area by a couple feet so I can walk around a little easier and I added tarp zippers on one end so I can roll the cart in and out. I also added an additional intake filter and exhaust fan to get some more air flowing. I got the body prepped for the first round of surfacer and got that sprayed. Had a little issue part way through with the regulator coming loose from the end of the paint gun. I re-installed while still in the booth but didn't test the air pressure before I started spraying again and ended up with a couple runs. They are sanding out pretty easy but if that would have happened laying base or clear it would have been bad. Live and learn.
Started blocking down the surfacer. I am using a combination of 180, 220 and 320 grit for the first round of surfacer.
I've clamped the dashboard gauge plate in place but I want to review online photos to see how others have positioned things. I'll look at it clamped there for a few days to see if I like it before drilling.
