Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Radiator cover is looks pretty nice, before you know it everything will be red and all the hesitation and uncertainty will be a distant memory. Your doing some nice work, keep it up.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
The red looks good. The good thing about the bc/cc is you can remove the dirt nibs and orange peel. For me that means that i can do it without much experience. Just work and patience.

Keith, it is looking amazing. What is your "planned" date for the first drive? This year yet?

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I've been quietly following your whole build like a stalker and maybe I missed it...Can you give a quick recap on what you did to your fenders before epoxing them? Did you sand with 180 and shoot? Will they need any glazing putty or anything before you topcoat? I'm here in my build as well and the bodywork part is kicking my tail.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
It sure is going to be a head turner once the red is laid down. Great job! !

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
That's awesome you are painting it yourself. I'm sure you will be happier in the end knowing you did it, even if there is a flaw or two.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Shot some Slick Sand on the fenders today, probably wasn't the best day to do it with it being 95 out but I managed. I could only get one coat shot before I had to clean the gun. Then I shot another coat and just got to the gun in time before it dried like cement in it. Definitely was a learning experience

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Thanks, yeah I love Red, I wrestled for a long time with painting it a different color cause my 72 was Red but this is a totally different truck and a brighter shade of Red. I wouldn't be happy with anything else.
Thanks, she's getting there. Thanks for the tip Mike, I'll definitely try smaller batches of it. I may have mixed to much hardener in as well. It's kind of a pain to mix compared to regular primer and paint that you can easily measure out in a mixing cup. This weekend is supposed to be cooler so hopefully it will work a little better after I block it out for the first time.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Congrats on a great job with the base/clear. Looks great!
I'm not familiar with slick sand, but is there a retarder you can add to keep the product from drying so fast in the heat?

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Thanks Tom, I spent the better part of the weekend blocking out the fenders. I can tell you that I am already sick of it

![]() Slick Sand doesn't list anything on the data sheet. It just says maximum pot life is 45 minutes at 75 degrees and considerably less in warmer temps. I can tell you this stuff works really good, just wish it had a longer pot life.
