Re: American in Austria 83 Build

Hey guys,

Got a few more things accomplished, I have the driver side fender welded back together and got both fenders in epoxy and sprayed one fender right away with slicksand and added any filler where needed. I decided I would try this method opposed to filler, then slicksand. I am currently working on the other fender right now, but skim coated the entire fender and will slicksand it once I am done blocking with 80 grit. I am not really sure which process works better. I think in the end it is exactly the same, but I am leaning towards spraying the slicksand before body filler.

I also blocked the entire cap once again, this time with 220 and it is flat as can be. With a straight edge there is no light shining through anywhere. I am also happy with how the shaved cab seem turned out. Next step will be to hit it with a few coats of high build and final block with 320 and 400, then its ready for paint.

This is a lot of work!!

Thats all for now.

Paul
