Been a bit tom and dick again but have managed to make progress. am planning a full day up the cave tomorrow so am sort of hoping I may be laying down a first full coat of primer!
Blew the bonnet over with some old rattle cans of primer just to highlight any imperfections
And found plenty, typically the one below, its not the black blob but the wrinkle is just north of it.
First skim of the moved front wheel arch
Patch filling of fine filler to address the flaws the primer showed up.
And final fill of the wheel arch
And a bit of a momentous moment,
First shaping session for the return where the bonnet meets the winglets.
Looks a real mess but one thing that all this bodywork has taught me is that it always looks worse before it looks better.
Hardware going on!
Final layer of filler on the drivers side win return.
And the dip in the drivers side gets its last coat of fine filler.
So the plan for tomorrow is to finish the drivers side front quarter and fit the drivers side headlight then remove the bonnet and give the inside a coat of truck bed liner. whilst that is drying I will make a start on masking up the cockpit area and maybe just maybe get the main tub all in one coat of primer filler....hmmmmm we'll see.
TTFN
