Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
I agree, the chrome grille was a nice addition Jim. Too bad you're going to get it done just in time for winter...

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Thanks Mark, I still drive it in the winter, as long as the roads haven't had any salt stuff on them for awhile. Will see how it is this winter, already get cold and it's just November...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Well, on 11/8 I tried to skip the 2000 paper and went to the 3000 pad, did the whole hood, and was not happy. I could see lots of scratch marks from the 1000 paper.
So on the 9th I went back and wet sanded the hood with 2000 paper by hand, and removed a lot of the scratches. On the 10th I used the 3000 pad and then the 5000 pad. Hood looked good at that point, so I used the wool pad and #l step material to buff it out. Today I used the foam pads using #1, then #2 and finally #3 to finish it up. Hood looks good, still a few small imperfections, but I can live with that. Here's a couple pics...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Jim, Don't be so hard on your self! You can see every imperfection because your looking for them, we won't see them as once it's together there is way to much going on to see anything Bad about it. Looking Good , Ray

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
I can’t see scratches on the hood in the pics Jim.
Probably neither when you stand outside and two feet away. Hood looks beautiful!

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Thanks Kees, you have to be about 6" away and the right angle to see them...Jim

Is that with or without a magnifying glass? It looks good!

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Hey everyone, nothing on the truck today (maybe tomorrow). Today my wife Aggie moved into a new concept home for elders. There are only 10 elders per home, and each has their own room and super size bathroom. She is so happy to be in the new home. I didn't get any pics today forget. But here is a link to West Vue's site. Take a quick look it is something that is brand new and made for "Baby Boomers" in mind...Jim
