Re: My 50 roadster pickup build

Well, on 11/8 I tried to skip the 2000 paper and went to the 3000 pad, did the whole hood, and was not happy. I could see lots of scratch marks from the 1000 paper.

So on the 9th I went back and wet sanded the hood with 2000 paper by hand, and removed a lot of the scratches.

On the 10th I used the 3000 pad and then the 5000 pad. Hood looked good at that point, so I used the wool pad and #l step material to buff it out. Today I used the foam pads using #1, then #2 and finally #3 to finish it up. Hood looks good, still a few small imperfections, but I can live with that.

Here's a couple pics...Jim
