Re: 67 SWB First Build

Scurry nice progress! Looking good. I'm dreading all the paint prep I have coming...

The picture shows the underside of the hood and the front fenders, but we do the bottom of the cab, underside of bed, underside front fenders, and wheel tubs in the back the same way.
AC Ward, seeing your hood advice makes me wonder do you fill the gaps between the hood skin and the supports? What do you put in there to both level it nicely and also stop the wobble? Someone mentioned to me a while back about this and sure enough I looked at my hood and it wobbles like crazy and he said use the black window sealer they use on modern windshields. Said I could level it first with paint sticks while putting that sealer between the skin and supports.

Thanks.
