I finaly put a coat of primer on the doors and fenders tonight. More bloc sanding to come. I still have to install the new driver side step. I should have that done this weekend.

Two Christmas's ago I spent 3 weeks holiday, 5 days a week, 8-10 hours a day blocking out the truck. The final two days we took it out into the yard in the pouring rain and blocked and hand sanded 1200 with dish soap until it was glass smooth. We get rain on Vancouver Island at Christmas ... I don't think that will work in Winterpeg! Here are a few before/after and along the way shots. I got more however, my ....ing PC crashed so I'm in the process of trying to retrieve a bunch of pics. Went and bought a MAC, no more of that BS.
