Back in Black

Finished up the antenna holes and the cowl work.

 Rust Reformer on the boor jams.

I also finished re working the cab corner.

I taped over the rust area I still need to fix.

Finished up the low spot on the pillar

 And the end of today's work .....

More Sanding...

    Today, I sanded down the skim coat on the cowl and the back of the cab and laid down another coat.

    I also fixed a low spot on the pillar ...

    Then I shot the headlight riser with Reformer.

    I was not happy with the cab corner once I shot some reformer on it so I laid one more skim coat.

    I also need to fix this rust on the door jamb.

    I also removed the old rubber door stops.

Finishing up the door bodywork.

    Finish up the door bodywork by spraying Reformer on the areas that still need it on the back side. Over all I am happy with the out come. Looks like I had some dust on my lens. :o(

   

    Once that was done I shot reformer on the regulator and door latch as well as the inside handle remote open rod. (?)

     Oh, today was clean up day so I also swept and moped the floor. One of the down sides of working out of a home garage. Dust, and lots of it! Most of the time I spend in the garage I wear a mask!

The Joys of Christmas

Sanded down the skim coat on the door, first with a 60 grit then a 80 then 220.

Welded a small rust area on the inside corner of the door and laid a coat of filler over it.

Had to add one more skim on two small areas to finish up the door body work.

I also cleaned up an area I missed on the side of the door where the dovetail goes.

After washing the door with soap and water, I dried it, and shot the top side of the door with reformer ... I will get the other side again tomorrow.

In the picture above you can see on the truck where I laid some filler over the holes I welded up yesterday as well as some low areas just in front of that.



Shot of the door latch mechanism...

If Santa hurrys ... he can help!

Sanded down the skim coat on the door ...

and then I shot a light guide coat, and block sanded that, to help me find the low areas......

All the low spots marked.

Put on another skim coat .....

I used my shop lights to speed the drying process.

While I was waiting for the filler to dry I made pieces to weld up the old antenna holes.
