51 Ford pickup

End of the day. All apart for finishing.

[wfo guy]

Mid-day break. Had a bend to remove from one fender. Fill parts welded in. I'm closing up the gap on the rear of the wheel well, not reforming the whole thing.

Mid afternoon break. It's 104 degrees in the shop. I'm ready for a little hammer and dolly and then bondo.

[wfo guy]

Pinholes to fill and more work on the right hand wheel well lip and it's time for primer.

[wfo guy]

The pics are: ready for primer, epoxy primer and the 1st application of high build primer. Now I can see how much work I have to do.

[wfo guy]

Tiny bit more progress. After I primed them the 1st time, I found some bad spots. I know I will find some more after block sanding but I'm going in the right direction.

Looks great! Prime, sand, prime, sand, prime, sand.......

Thanks, Pat
Another pityfull update. I painted the underneath side of the hood yesterday. Today I realized I forgot to repair the cross brace. i have block sanded most of the hood for the 4th time. It will take 1 more time to make it good enough.

[wfo guy]

I am so boring! More sanding and 4th application of primer on the hood. Maybe this will be the last one.

[Godbolt]

Worth it in the end though and progress is progress. Looking forward to seeing it back together.

Primered and in the solar booth.
2nd time on the small parts and 5th time on the hood. When sanding the hood yesterday, I noticed that the crown flattened out at the rear of the hood. More work. Maybe this is the last time for the hood. I think I've said that before.

At least your sticking with it and knocking it out.

I've been something of a worker today. This is the front fenders sanded and primed.

Geez, you sound like me. I've sanded my passenger door so many times I think I could do it in my sleep.

Here we have the fenders primed again. The hood in epoxy and then painted. The nats got in the clear but I'm going to sand and flowcoat so I'm hopeful that they will be removed.

And we have color! Nice progress.

So frustrating when bugs land in the wet paint! You don't even know they are around but they suddenly appear when there is wet paint around.

[wfo guy]

The HOK clear almost smells sweet. I don't think it's helping any. I'm trying to hurry because fly season is getting near.

[wfo guy]

1 bug, 1 piece of crapola, way better than before.

All the body work is going to be worth it! The trucks gonna look so clean when its done!
