Thanks

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

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

man that color is just perfect, looks really nice!

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

Jim, won't be very long and that beautiful truck will be cruising down the road again! Paint is looking sharp.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

Thanks Joe and Ray. When I first got the paint I put a dab on the bed and it match perfect. It will still be awhile, but I gaining on it...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

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
 

Nice work.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

Thank you...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

Got some more work done today. Really like how I'm getting something done each day, hope nothing upset the apple cart:devil:.

Pic 1 Masked back side of right fender.

Pic 2 Ready for paint, I had wet sanded the hood again to remove some scratches.

Pic 3 Mark painted the parts.

Pic 4 & 5 are close up's of parts.

Hope to have some more tomorrow...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

Getting Closer! Nice and Shiney

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

Really like that shiny paint.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

Thanks guys, thing is, that it will be sanded again, and then final paint...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

Finished up wet sanding the drivers door with 400 paper, and brought up the pass. door. I will start cutting down the paint on this door tomorrow...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
 

Thanks Ray, yeah it's a little overboard, but that's just me...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

On Saturday I got the pass. door sanded with 400 wet and looks pretty good.

Pic 1 and Pic 2

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

Out in the shop for a couple hours today, and got both doors taped and covered. Will have Mark help turn them over and they will be ready for paint...Jim

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
 

I got everything set-up for paint. Then Mark got it all painted. Here's before and after shots...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

Last two...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

Thanks joe, I know what your saying, years ago I had to make myself slow down, to get it right. I can still paint, but I let Mark do all the painting now, he's good...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

My hat is off to anyone who can paint! Nice work.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

Thank you...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
 

Jim, looks good! Thanks for showing us how to do it right.
