Was in the shop for a couple hours today and got some work done.

Pic 1 & 2 Have the freshly painted parts covered to avoid overspray.

Pic 3 Fender back on horse.

Pic 4 Inner panel mounted.

Pic 5 Can't see any difference, but it has been wet sanded with 600 paper and ready for paint.

Hope to show more tomorrow...Jim

Pic 1 & 2 Wet sanded left fender with 600 paper.

Thanks Joe and Ray. When I first got the paint I put a dab on the bed and it match perfect. It will still be awhile, but I gaining on it...Jim

Back in the shop today, for a couple hours, all I got done was 400 wet sanding of right fender, had some scratches that 600 wouldn't take out. Sanded it 3 times with the 400, but it's good to go now...Jim

Nice work.

**oldman3** · 07-13-2018, 11:06 PM

Finished up wet sanding the drivers door with 400 paper, and brought up the pass. door. I will start cutting down the paint on this door tomorrow...Jim

Indian113 · 07-14-2018, 09:00 AM

Jim, I forgot just how Picky you really are! I don't have the patience you have because I might have quit before the Final Cut and Paint your doing. That is why your Truck is SOOO Nice you don't Quit Until it's Time.

Thanks Ray, yeah it's a little overboard, but that's just me...Jim

**oldman3** · 07-15-2018, 07:14 PM

On Saturday I got the pass. door sanded with 400 wet and looks pretty good.

Pic 1 and Pic 2

**oldman3** · 07-15-2018, 07:17 PM

Out in the shop for a couple hours today, and got both doors taped and covered. Will have Mark help turn them over and they will be ready for paint...Jim

**oldman3** · 07-16-2018, 11:47 PM

I got everything set-up for paint. Then Mark got it all painted. Here's before and after shots...Jim

**joedoh** · 07-16-2018, 11:44 PM

painting is a patience thing, I am always too excited. what I am saying is I would have painted these parts 4 times by now and every time would have been wrong. so nice work!

Thanks joe, I know what your saying, years ago I had to make myself slow down, to get it right. I can still paint, but I let Mark do all the painting now, he's good...Jim

**8man** · 07-17-2018, 10:46 AM

My hat is off to anyone who can paint! Nice work.

Didn't get anything done last week, busy with other things. I did get to the shop on Saturday, and got the two doors, wet sanded with 600 paper. Today I did the pass. front fender with 600 wet. These are now ready for final paint...Jim
