Opel Manta A '71 - Surfacer ON | How to Sand the Door Jams FLAT | Surface Control When Sanding

Hello everyone!
It has been a while since the last episode but we have been working hard. In this episode we take a look at preparation for the surfacer and application, we go over sanding the door jams so we can fit the doors and sand the engine bay flat so it is ready for paint. We will discuss more in depth on surface control and how to sand the door jams flat. Not a fun phase but very very important as this are the final steps before the paint comes on so the panels must be nice and straight. Skipping steps might cause paint to sink and reveal skratches from sanding paper. Hope you enjoy this little update!

Its amazing how far you have come on this car, its a real inspiration for me! It may take a few more year before I build my garage to restore the 2 mantas I have but I can review your videos as a helpful resource. Your Manta will be a site once completed.

Thank you very much! It might take some time but time flies so fast, a couple of years can go like a blink of an eye. I hope my content will be helpful then and if you should need any additional info - feel free to reach out or drop a comment ☺️

Your doing a great job. It's going to have a better paint job than anything the factory could produce.

Thanks John! We are trying our best with it but ofcourse ot won't be perfect or concourse d'elegance material but that is allright with me. If it were perfect I wouldn't drive it hard 😃
