13˚ and the smell of kerosene

Well Here is the latest update. Since the last post it's been nothing but Fiberglass, Filler and Fun. So we've been sanding non stop for the past few weeks, sanding coughing, and sanding. We've kicked it's a-hole. Here are some pics of the fun.

And then there came the shining day we got to wrap it up for paint. Here are some pics. Ryan donated the plastic, which was much needed. Here is what one night of cleaning and taping does to us.

Then came Presidents Day. I had off work and I spent it spraying the scratches off the truck. Ah nothing does a better job than Primer Filler.

Some spots still need some work. You'll have these things. Perfection in a jalopy. It's my weakness.

Once the first coat is on. I went through and applied spot putty to the pits. It seem like a lot, but it's not actually that bad. Ryan came by to help out. Sand Ryan Sand.

Then I managed to sneak in a final coat before I called it a day. Tomorrow I'll wet sand the entire cab and maybe get a chance to add another coat. Then once everything is nice and smooth I'll add the sealer and then get on with the paint.

Some final pics to leave you with.
