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

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Had a productive afternoon today. Mark and I installed the pass. door. It looks great (see pic) I hooked up the power windows, so their working again.
Mark wet sanded the bumper with 2-3-5000 paper, and then buffed in out, looks great. (see close up pic). I reinstalled the hood rubber on the cowl, and cleaned up area. I then wet sanded the splash apron with 2-3-5000 paper, still needs to be buffed. (see pic) Here's a few pics.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Smooth and straight panels! The reflection of the light bulbs doesn’t have any bend or wave. Nice!

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Was out in the shop a little Saturday, and today. Got both front fenders wet sanded with 2,000 paper. They came out nice. Hope to work on them again later this week. Here's some pics...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Back in the shop today, and finished both fenders with 3,000 and 5,000. Next step is to buff it out. Will be a day or two. Here's a couple pics, doesn't look much different that before, but it sure is (see close up)...Jim
