Re: Super Cheyenne aka the "Devil Cowboy"

The fender I was working on had been stripped a few months back with one of those Eastwoods SCT drum sanders. It makes quick work of stripping the paint off the surface down to the bare metal and leaving the metal ready to be worked. The reason I did this was that the fenders were Orche in color and since we are doing a color change to Medium Blue, and doing a patina finish not wanting the Orche paint to show through.

This is the captain-side fender that most of the bodywork was completed a few months ago after stripping. I found a few more small areas that needed touch-ups with filler and glaze. Also found one small high spot that I was able to metalwork on the crown of the fender lip. All was going well with progress, then I flipped it over and decided that the Ochre paint on the underside needed to be stripped also, and the fender area that is covered by the fender well needed to be treated with rust reformer. This took the better part of about 3 hours to get the underside ready for primer.

After the fender is painted I will coat the underside of fender that is not seen inside the fender well with 3M 08881 undercoating.
