Its all coming out like apple pie and vanilla ice cream, it just goes together perfectly!

During the in-between times waiting for stuff to set up and the red dog to silently attack and seize my body filler file, I took to sanding. I am using an orbital at 120psi on the fast setting and 120 grit. That black rust converter stuff I put on a year or two ago is like iron and a living bear to get off. But with time and determination it will yield!

Got this far along so far:

And right out of the door is this sad sight...The Chevy. It sits there totally destroyed! It has some dirt on it rendering it unserviceable forever more. I will likely have to have it towed away and crushed, or washed. I'll have to sort through that difficult thought process. What a shame to see it is such deplorable condition!

Saddening isn't it?

That was all I had time for today. Spent the morning fixing web site stuff. We had some "bot" attack our site which shut it down for awhile. I made some calls, sent some emails and spent some money and we were back in business, but I lost the time.

Anyway, we march ever onward toward eventual victory!

Body work ..... only thing worse is wiring LoL  I envy your skills and your patience. It's looking darn good. You also reminded me I need to track down a decent hood for our truck...I must have one somewhere with no hail dents in it.

Don, how far do those tires stick out with 3.5 BS? I keep getting told the pressed center is the way to go but want more like a 4.5 BS which can only happen with a flat center.

JR,

They don't stick out at all. Everything on this old Dodge is still tucked under the fender lips I think.

When I go out and check that, I'll be surprised to discover the whole tire is outside the fender and I was wrong...but I don't think so

I don't have lips on the burb and not wanting to put them on. Another reason I kept the dodge front end, the GM is about 2 inches wider.

Will post over in mine but thinking of going with dually hubs in front and newer 14bt in the rear.

OK, lets get this hood and fender painted already!

Starting out I spent some time working the last coat of plastic filler with the sanding board and #60 grit

Here it is starting to come around:

Then back to the mindless sanding with the orbital. I went through two more packs of 120 grit sanding discs before I declared it done enough to go to next step

I dusted all the bare metal areas with a light coat of the acid etching primer so I'd seal it up and get a good bite for the primer/surfacer

Old Dr. Yeng's fender is lookin' pretty spiffy. There is some striping in the first coat, but that went bye-bye with the next layer of enamel.

Here's just after the third coat:

I had gotten a run in the front of the hood after the first coat. I employed an old painter's trick. Take some masking tape and slowly lay it on the run and blot it gently. Usually you can lift most of the run off since it stands taller than the surrounding paint.

I did it and darned if it didn't work somewhat. It's not perfect, but I am not seeking perfect here. I just want a quality paint job and a cammo color that is flat and blends with the background. I wanted a "serviceable" paint job, nothing more.

So with paint fumes migrating into the house, I stopped the work right there.

Now that painted fender can be installed and Mr. Franken-Snorkel can finally be permanently installed!

That's it for Build day 240!

Looks good to me man. We have been debating what color we are going to paint our project. Thankfully we are a long ways from that stage.

I will be happy to get some epoxy on the frame and axles this week with the temps dropping to the 30's yet at night.

We're in the 60's daytime and 40's at night

The other weekend camping at the farm, it was low 40's and I'd have to say that morning campfire felt pretty good

Personally, I'll be happy when the body work and painting is done as well.

Still have the cowl, and the valence panel and the hood hinges and the grill to paint, but that should be it.

I'll shoot the lower third black or apply bed liner and of course have to paint up the bumpers and rock rails, but that's not as pesky as trying to get a body panel straight.

I left some small dents in the body on purpose. It just didn't seem right to fix all this old warriors' scars from its glorious past, so I left em' intact

Don-

Really looking spiffy!  Going outta pocket for next few days at a Liberal......er' Teachers Convention......so I'll be looking in regularly for a dose of normalcy and maybe an occasional cold and prickly moment for anyone looking over my shoulder at some pictures of Trucks and Assault Weapons!   ;)

Lost my best jeep in a mulch bed

Swallowed it up completely

Only a bed of iris and black eyed susans to show for all my work

That's why I don't drive jeeps

Most mulch beds at least the really hazardous ones you fine around malls won't completely swallow a big truck

That's why I drive em'

You people have never really 4-wheeled at the mall, so you have no real concept of the danger there!

Poured 5 gallons of diesel #1 in it the other day

Found a leak in the filler neck connection right away

Need to patch that up

When the fender goes on, the trans filler neck gets attached

Then I fill the trans with fluid

THen I start final checks

Then I prime everything

Then I get Duane to standby to put his hand over the turbo inlet in case it runs away (He-he)

Then I turn the key to the start position and listen for a change in sound...

Then I post the results

Then JR's anxiety level goes back down to a 4.5 on the ricter scale!

Then life is good once again

Then, about a week later is the presidential elections

Then Hillary defeats Bush

Then the anxiety level increases once again

Then JR packs up and moves out of Kali

Then...

Hillary in there would cause unrest in more than my home and countries!!

I have a leak in my dmax system somewhere, keeps having to be primed. Runs fine, rebuilt the filter head but she just bleeds out sometimes.

I'll wait for Tate to swing by and we can caravan.

Indeed there would be!

OK boyz and girlz, ready for build day 241?

OK, heard a couple "ye-hoo's" so I'll take that as a positive!

Today I was all over the place. First I wanted to get the rest of the stuff painted, so I painted it!

Starting with the hood hinges which needed scrubbing, sanding washing with thinner, rubbing with steel wool, and prayer by some Tibetan Monks!

Oh the hood and fender paint is still not dry enough to work with. It is not all that great. Looking at it, you can see imperfections all over. I mean that metal is anything but flat. If you stand off a few feet, it's OK, but up close I am only satisified that the metal is covered and subdued in a non reflective paint

Next up were the cowl and valance panels

Same-same. Cleaning, sanding, prep, primer, then coating

The underside of the valance got coated with truck bed coating...I don't want trouble out of it in the future

The topside of the cowl got a different treatment. Trailing off from the bottom of the windshield, I coated the topside with truck bed liner then chased that with a layer of the Blitz Black from John Deere

I want no reflectivity and I am considering painting the raised part of the hood in semi gloss black as well for the same reasons

These little gems are the correct Chrysler headlight adjusting screw assemblies. I pulled out the Autozone junk and popped these in. Immediately the headlights straightened up and feel very secure

On to the rear electrical stuff. Remember that LED work light I installed awhile ago? Well I fashioned up a switch panel for it. I am switching the ground so the hot wire will run on top all tucked away

Hmmm, got one in there crooked...Oh well

Then the electrical panel for the other side got mocked up

About then the chain gang working on the inside of my stomach got a bit too loud...I had skipped lunch! So it was off to the shower and stove so I could assume my duties as a mom (Which I am very poor at)

So ended build day 241!

OK, another build day has come and gone

But after viewing today's progress, I think you'll agree the project definitely moved forward

Mounting the fender and all the things that mount to it was today's bidding.

Starting things off, I primed and painted the louver panel
