If you were not so slow   Jeez! I started fitting my doors a year ago and i am still not done :oops: This will be the third truck you have finished since i started on the coupe You are an inspiration

C.K., I'm usually an inspiration in a negative way. I will take that one as a compliment.

Rust pin holes welded. Low spots in fenders filled. More sanding ahead.

I'm trying to take advantage of what warm weather is left. The pic is of the front fenders. I epoxied the underneath side and top. 3 layers of high build primer and a 4th on the spots that I repaired. I don't think anybody will be jealous of my outdoor paint booth.

Over here at O&S, I have fought it since before 8 am. Nothing has gone smoothly. The hood is ready to shoot. The cab is masked but about 1/2 sanded. I'm tired so I quit.

It's got paint, not without issue though. There's a couple of runs in the clear. It has been over a year since I painted and it shows. The whole thing is orange peel-y so I'll have to wait to see what the plan of action is going to be. I didn't intend to cut and buff this but the runs are causing me discomfort. The pics are in the booth, sealed and blue.

nice colour ! sort of like Washington blue in the right light. What is the actual shade?

[kb426]

C.K., you have just seen how little light there is in my make shift booth. The color is called ultra blue pearl. It is somewhat darker than 99 Dodge pickup blue pearl. That is a Kirker color wit HOK clear.

Bet it will look great out in the sun

 There is "SUN" in Kansas  :?:  :?:

 Oh...That's right...Someone said something about  KB being a "Shade-Tree" something ......  :oops: ..

  I guess you need sun to be able to have "Shade"...... :?  :?

That is a beautiful color.  Blue with pearl is my favorite thing to look at. Shiny, too!  Mighty nice job, KB

[kb426]

Thank you, Matt.

The last 2 evenings was spent doing bondo work. The doors had the mirrors ripped off both sides. The good weather has passed and I think I may have to wait to see if we get some warm weather in a few weeks to get the doors and fenders painted. This time of year, the weather changes rapidly. I might get lucky! Probably not.

Doors are ready for primer. There was not enough time left today to do that. I'm very hopeful that friday is warm enough to primer.  The end of the summer is just that!
