Was in the shop for a couple hours today and got some work done.
Pic 1 & 2 Have the freshly painted parts covered to avoid overspray. Pic 3 Fender back on horse. Pic 4 Inner panel mounted. Pic 5 Can't see any difference, but it has been wet sanded with 600 paper and ready for paint. Hope to show more tomorrow...Jim |

Back in the shop today, for a couple hours, all I got done was 400 wet sanding of right fender, had some scratches that 600 wouldn't take out. Sanded it 3 times with the 400, but it's good to go now...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Jim, I forgot just how Picky you really are! I don't have the patience you have because I might have quit before the Final Cut and Paint your doing. That is why your Truck is SOOO Nice you don't Quit Until it's Time.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
painting is a patience thing, I am always too excited. what I am saying is I would have painted these parts 4 times by now and every time would have been wrong. so nice work!

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Jim, is that a one piece hood or did you do something to the original two piece?
I like the solid look and have been thinking about what to do. Thanks. |

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Hi Jim,
I love your truck! I had binge-read the whole build some time back and filed it away in my "completed builds" folder. Imagine my shock at tuning in and finding it with a fender in primer a few days back. Anyway, I binged it again and got caught up. I loved seeing you post where you were able to take your wife out for a ride, that is so awesome. Keep up the great work sir! - Richard |

A little update on work. On Friday, Mark removed all the old plastic. Then on Saturday the two of us vaccumed the light fixtures, rail, etc., to removing as much dirt as we could. We installed new plastic on the south and west walls. (didn't take pics till Sunday).
