I think you're right. I ordered an 80 grit to strip the other rear fender. Hopefully it'll go quicker and not wear down as quick.

Worked a few hours in the shop this weekend. Trying to get the cab 100% for spraying some polyester primer. Will try to borrow my dad's trailer this next week to take my frame to the blaster. Then after I POR15 frame, I can Install the cab and front clip to spray the poly primer. Through the cowl on just to get an idea on the gaps. I think it'll be alright.

Here's some pictures of the cab sanded with 80grit. I also welded up the seams around the windshield. I think it'll make for a clean look.

Question: should I seam seal before or after the poly primer?

Thanks

slow week in the shop with family in town. Managed to get a few things done with the rear fenders.

cut out a couple patches for the rear side markers. Then sprayed some primer on the backside before I burned it in.





Still some misc. Body work to do on the fenders before filler.

The 80grit roll I ordered seemed to work much quicker on the next fender. Just some last few areas to clean up before epoxy.
