Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Are those Speedhut Jim? It's important to have good looking instruments when you spend time behind the wheel. The backlit numbers at night is a nice touch.
EDIT: I just went back and read the previous page and saw that the gauges were indeed from Speedhut. I'm running their GPS speedo too, it's awesome... |

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Jim, didn't want to stir anything up. Just worried because you hadn't posted any updates! Sounds like you have it under control. Later Ray

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Nothing pic worthy, but I did get some 2000 wet sanding done on the doors today...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Well, I got a couple pics to show. Got both doors done by hand with 2,000 paper, and today used the palm sander DA with 3,000 and 5,000 pads. Then I used a new wool pad to buff with the stage 1 material. Doors still need to be buffed with stage 2 and stage 3 material. I'm happy so far with how it looks...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
I also use Wizards products, I've had really good luck with them over the years.
Paint is looking great!

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Aren't you worried that there won't be any paint left after all that sanding and buffing?
Seriously, it looks great.

Good question, I've always put on enough paint, that with the sanding I still have at least two coats of paint remaining. That's why some painter put on 5 coats of clear, because they are going to sand and buff at least two coats off...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Well, between Mark and I we finished steps 2 and 3 on the doors. Then we reinstalled the seat, put on the steering wheel. and installed the drivers door.
With the door installed the pic doesn't do it justice, it has a great shine. Here's a few pics...Jim
