Re: American in Austria 83 Build
Hi guys,
Making some progress on getting this truck straight, so after all the metal work was done to the best of my ability I shot the truck with 3 coats of epoxy followed up (1 day later) with three coats of slick sand (poly primer). Then the block sanding began!! I just finished the first round of block sanding and it is getting very close to being as flat as possible. There are still some very slight low areas, but one more round of poly primer should take care of it.
This next round I will only block sand the roof, windshield frame, rear of the cab and inner door frame of the cab. The rest I am going to wait until I prep the fenders and doors and set the bed on to make sure all the lines are straight and line up. Well actually I need to get the doors and fenders lined up properly and see where my gaps end up.
Once that is all together I will then block the doors, fender and cab all in one in hope of making it look seamless so to speak.
Till next time.
Paul
