Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Looking Good Jim! All those years of taking care of Mark are Paying OFF! Unless he's got a bill started on your truck. Just kidding but he doe's do some great work.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Coming out very nice Jim. Do you have a guess on the hours spent block sanding?

Just so you Guy's know the 6hrs was not all sanding hrs that was prime,filler sand prep and prime again.
The same thing went on yesterday everything looks pretty good I will block it today with 180 and do a final prime and then we can assemble for the Nats. Pic #1.This was just after blocking and I had to put some polly filler in several areas and block again. Pic #2. Polly filler Pic #3. Upper splash panel/radiator cover I then sprayed all with the 202 again last night and will block today and shoot the final primer. Mark |
Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Hey Guy's No pics today (same stuff as yesterday) All the pieces were sanded with 180 grit and the final primer was sprayed yesterday afternoon and now we can put things back together.
Will get some shots as that takes place. Mark |
Re: My 50 roadster pickup build

Mark and I removed the top and seat, so I can get to the coil, which is under my dash, remove it and install the new one and hook up wires. I will also get my engine to TDC, remove the old dist. and install the new, and then retime everything. I just need someplace where I have room and time to do things the way I want. Been busy helping other people, need to stop this for awhile...Jim |
