Looking like lots of progress to me    Good stuff:)

Any more updates? It sure it hot out, for painting anything  :cry:

Mid-day break. Had a bend to remove from one fender. Fill parts welded in. I'm closing up the gap on the rear of the wheel well, not reforming the whole thing.

Mid afternoon break. It's 104 degrees in the shop. I'm ready for a little hammer and dolly and then bondo.

The fenders are fixed  :!:  :!:   YEAAAAAAAAAAAA        

They look better already    

That welding "by the dot" thing that Matt showed us sure seems to work ...

Pinholes to fill and more work on the right hand wheel well lip and it's time for primer.

WOW..You're pretty good at that stuff ...      Ready for my fenders  :?:    
Remember .....My "A" fenders come before Chimp's "T" fenders 'cause thats how the alphabet thingie works .....

Thanks for pointing that out, Bob. But, if I interfere with your long history of progress, won't it upset the world as we know it?

The pics are: ready for primer, epoxy primer and the 1st application of high build primer. Now I can see how much work I have to do.

Tiny bit more progress. After I primed them the 1st time, I found some bad spots. I know I will find some more after block sanding but I'm going in the right direction.

That stuff is coming along real nice!    Lots of folks would just slop paint on, but you're gonna have a good looking finished result.

I used an Evercoat product called 4 to 1 on my '57 wagon project, it sure covered up & filled a bunch of pits & other assorted nasties in one coat. I just bought a gallon of PPG K38 for final sand blocking, it and a qt. of hardner was about 275.00 OUCH!!

papastoyss, I have not looked at that product before. I used the slicksand before and it didn't go well. I didn't have a gun that would spray it evenly. It was terrible to sand back down so I've kind of stayed with regular high build primer. The description of 4in1 looks like the same stuff. I'm going to call them when I get time and ask questions. As far as paint in general goes, I don't think there is any of us that aren't hurt by the price of the products.
