Over 25 Years Later, Finally My 71 C-10 Truck Build

[hgs_notes]

Guess what I did today! If you said sanding, you would be correct. I think that is how my progress reports are going to go for awhile. Finished the drivers bedside, driver door and the hood. One area I was a little surprised on was the door bottom. It was a completely new panel, but you have to hammer the flange over the inner panel, and looks like I'll need a bit of filler in a couple spots there that were bigger than expected. Other than that I just have a dozen or so spots I'll put some glazing putty in. I did ok on the body work so far as I can see. I had my neighbor the body repair guy take a look at it and he said I was doing just fine and had a good handle on it.

Here's a tip: I was having a problem with the sand paper loading up, and I would rub it off or scrape with another sanding block to clean it out. That was ok, but it seemed like the paper was wearing out too fast, so I started using the blow nozzle on the air hose. It cleans the paper right out and it seems to last longer.
