still sanding sanding and sanding guys......but its gitting there. trying to get it all knocked out so I can get it in primer this weekend! fingers crossed everything goes smooth. I know im ready to be done with all of this heavy sanding thats for sure lol. I basically slicked the whole car with a skim coat of filler and sanded it down to get I nice smooth,flat surface all the way around....which yes makes for a better overall end product.......but man does it suck doing all that sanding lol.
tomorrow I need to finish sanding the underside of the hood,underside of deck lid,fender rails and upper portion of cowl under hood ( repainting those to avoid a tape line so Im going to reprime them when I prime the body). still need to scuff up door jambs. a few other odds and ends, fine tune the body a little more. blow everything off again and mask it all up. hoping to get all the sanding done tomorrow and shoot primer sunday or monday.
quick rant......it seems like no one ever wants to get ahold of me......but when I am busy working 5 people will stop over needing something and slow me down from working.....yet wont offer to lay a finger to help me on it......gets annoying....only take so much of the "giving" and no one giving back once and awhile.
and another rant....WHY must EVERYONE write with their finger in the dust on the glass of a car during body work? LOL. I bet 15 different people have done it in the last couple months. and there is always the smart *** ones that write FINISH DATE 2017 ect...ect... lol.
anyhow.....thats whats new, just a whole lot of sanding. I took some more picture today of when we cleaned the garage out again because the dust was building up.....again, it doesnt look like its much different but it is....if you could lay your hands on it you would see.
OH.....and I picked up a sweet deal from a member on a passenger side rally mirror! so now thats one less thing I need to get and I got it in time to mach it up and drill the holes prior to paint and what not too.
and I forgot to mention it but at the beginning of april I picked up a REALLLLLLY good deal on a new pick up truck thats PERFECT for the whole family. its an 03 s10 crew cab 4x4, new tires,fuel straps,fuel pump,$1,000.00 folding tonneua cover,vent visors,cd player,new plugs,wires,cap,rotor,maf sensor,oil change,k&n cold air intake,tensioner pully,serp belt,battery,02 sensors,brakes all around as well as a few other new things. super clean truck.......but the guy is a buddy of mines uncle and it just stopped running and he started throwing parts at it and couldnt get it fixed....so it sat for a few months and he bought a new truck....I ended up buying it for $800.00,bringing it home, cut the cat off and it fired right up and ran great. had a NASTY plugged up cat on it. he had an in dash dvd player in it and use to sit in the truck hours on end day after day with the truck ideling....so I figured it was probably pretty carboned up. luckily it was that simple and I landed a great family vehicle out of the deal. Anyways, the reason i mention all that is because in some of the pictures you can see the truck in the background a little bit.
stayed tuned guys....updates are coming!
