Finally a littler progress to show. Got the top and bottom of the cab in primer. Last pic is after a lite sanding with some 80 grit on a long board. I may be able to get by with a coat of spray on filler as its not too bad. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
glad to see you back on your truck
nothing on these trucks requires a long board long board will do nothing but make flat spots on a convex surface try using a long piece of hard foam that will conform to the curves of that roof truk never saw a hard block for sanding, foam blocks for every surface

Re: My 57 Pro Street
I can appreciate the work you have done so far on the cab. I'm at the same stage with smoothing seams. Great build.

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Spent a few hours reading back your whole build...did someone allready said you are a true Craftsman???
![]() I learned a lot only from looking at your pics! It's like a book you must have when you have a TF truck!! So, keep building, so I can read it with pleasure!! Great truck!!!

Re: My 57 Pro Street
It's made by Evercoat.
I found it on Amazon for $60.00 a gallon with the hardener. Quote:

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Good looking progress on your roof. I love SlickSand - I'm just a couple of years away from needing it on my project! Have you decided on a paint color?

Re: My 57 Pro Street
I have been using Urofill, not as thick a build up as Slickcoat, but thicker than regular primer, and compatible with 2K sealer.
