Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
looking good! as far as body filler get some longer sanding blocks, it will help keep it looking straight! you can make some blocks my buddys dad has a few he made for different sanding jobs! Wal-Mart has a bigger sanding block, I think its 2x9 or 3x9 block with a handle on top, it would be in the paint section! I bought one and used it on my rear tubs, works great! im also learner with bodywork and fillers, keep it up, WE'VE got 11 months tops, to get them ready! just a lil motivation for you!!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Hood is looking good Don. You can also stand back about 3 feet and rattle can some black across the primer. It will speckle the area you have worked on. Then take your long block and lightly scuff the guide coat. It will quickly reveal high and low spots.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Looking good Don! Upol also makes a glazing putty called dolphin glaze which works really well....we use it everyday at work. I usually always finish my bondo work with 180 and feather around it and then go over the repair area with a skim coat of glazing putty to smooth out the transition from the bondo to the sourrounding area...if that makes any sense...just what works for me anyway. Good luck and keep rockin buddy

Hey bud, nice going on the truck! I found a stock tire carrier but found that with the style fender I am using( Longbed cutout) my tire is an inch to big.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
On to the update on the reason I'm out here…
![]() Sunday was a dreary day which transformed into a day of rest and football... ![]() Today, Monday, began, as mentioned in the previous post, working on a 93 Accord, following that job I attempted to attain a higher level of patience, in the way of bodywork... ![]() ![]() This is the problem area, the end that bolts to the Radiator Support… ![]() following a quick scribe around the patch, courtesy of Jeff, I went to work with my cut-off wheel... ![]() ![]() after the surgery…and GRINDING!!! ![]() ![]() I found my Argon bottle was NOT fully emptied, so I HAD to make a few sparks... ![]() ![]() Now the welding gas is completely gone… cannot get any readings on the gauges now!!! ![]() It's late, I'm beat, and the pillow is calling my name... Laterz! ![]()

PATIENCE ????
