Thanks Robert, Truck has the week off, I’m in Astoria Oregon this week cooling off.

Re: Jans 53
 

Nothing going on here, still stuck in my ground hog day loop of bodywork......prime, block, surfacer, block.....beer
:tim:

Re: Jans 53
 

at least there is beer!

Re: Jans 53
 

I really feel your pain! The "sanding" loop is soul sucking. Keep it up, it'll be worth it.

Re: Jans 53
 

“Soul sucking” indeed. Lol

Re: Jans 53
 

Keep the beer flowing....helps keep the sanding dust out of your throat...that's my story and I'm sticking to it.....Roy

P.S. If it wasn't for beer I'd have gone MAD years ago.....:waah:

Re: Jans 53
 

Just read though the entire thread in one go..wow, what a build. Jan I salute you, you've got serious skills! absolute fantastic fabrication work.
So the on the color, I love it and perhaps put a mat coat on it? I don't know if that will help with the deterioration, but it will look bad ass i.m.o.
thanks for the tip on Raptor liner, as it turnes out it's available here in the Netherlands where I live.
and lastly I second the necessity of beer during sanding..and thats also why we're building a ratrod..but the beer still flows.

keep up the amazing work!

Not much to report, finished blocking the doors today and applied the final primer. Most of the body work is done it’s just the final blocking on the fenders,hood and bed sides. Need to order new tailgate and bed front. Some pics to prove I’m moving forward.

Re: Jans 53
 

holy freaking freak, those are beautiful.

Re: Jans 53
 

Very nice Jan. I like the old hooks in the garage door frame trick.

Jan, very nice looking great...Jim

Re: Jans 53
 

Very nice....there are NO shortcuts to a great paint job. I don't think most people realize the amount of labor/skill involved.

Nice job

Marc

Re: Jans 53
 

the reflection does not lie.

Nice work, I can see the hooks in your garage door frame that you hung the truck doors from. ............ keep it going

Re: Jans 53
 

I can see there is a 2hr parking sign in your... driveway? :haha:

Re: Jans 53
 

You guys don’t miss anything.

Yes, joedoh that is an old city parking sign I cemented next to my driveway.

Re: Jans 53
