Mark stayed a week and hit the doors and the bonnet hard, We also hit the underside of the cab pretty hard as well. Mark also tack welded in one side of the rocker panel. Waiting on a couple of parts to arrive and hopefully when he gets back in a few weeks we should have all the pieces we need.
You can see the progress here:
In the meantime, I am getting stuck into the bonnet while giving my el cheapo compressor a good workout. So far it has been performing quite well, although sanding things does give it a decent test.
This is the project I have before me. I should be able to knock this over in a day or thereabouts. My days are never my own. I am lucky to string together a couple of hours without being called to go somewhere else. The luxury of putting a solid day into this project is unheard of. I just have to work under the constraints I have. I was able to put in a couple of solid hours today and am pleased with the result. If I get a good run tomorrow, I should have it finished and ready for 2k Primer.
Gotta love an action shot! Here's me (yes, ME!) actually doing something! 90 grit on rusty steel. I'll show you the end result tomorrow.
You will see on the video how I point out the poor quality of aftermarket parts. Here is a stark example below.
Just look at the difference! If only I could find the other older support, I would return those crappy new things. They are so thin I can actually bend them by hand.
