O&S started off thinking that the hood would get painted. There was a low spot next to the cowl. It didn't clean up with blocking so I added some bondo and primed the bad spot again. The rest of the day was spent blocking. At the current rate of progress, I will need 2 more days of blocking before the bed is ready for paint. Assuming I don't find something I have missed. LOL.

O&S was in low gear today. I started off with doing some spot repair on the bed sides. I blocked one fender and the front bed panel. I moved on to the tail gate. I added some bondo to several areas. It will only be passible when done. Later this year, I may build another tail gate that is straighter everywhere. It rained some this afternoon so I didn't prime the tail gate where I worked it. Some progress, not good progress.

Slow work, but it's impossible not to appreciate your attention to detail.

Thanks for the comments, guys.
O&S had a less than wonderful day. I started out with good thoughts but by the end, I don't think I accomplished what I wanted. I blocked the hood and wasn't happy with the results. I spot sprayed the last of the primer I had and late today, knocked it down some. I don't think I'm there yet. There's a spot on the tailgate that I'm not sure what to do with. The 3 areas that I spot primed on the bed sides came out good. I'm not as short of time as I was last month so if I need to do more work on the hood and tailgate, It will be ok. It's just more work. LOL.

O&S just came in from playing shody bop. LOL. I spent part of the morning working on the hood and tailgate. It was dead calm today so I didn't want to let that go to waste. The rear fenders, roll pan, inside of the front bed panel and the rear crossmember got painted. I don't believe I messed anything up. It feels good to see some paint. LOL.

O&S sanded. And sanded and sanded. The bed panels are ready. The front bed panel is ready. The hood is almost ready. The only thing left is the tailgate.

O&S decided to paint bed panels today. I don't think I messed anything up. I won't know until they're out in the sun. This leaves the hood and tailgate. It was 101 degrees with 17% humidity. Quick dry paint. LOL.

Looking good.

Your heated paint booth is producing good results.

O&S got a few parts assembled without scratching them. Yet.

O&S is pleased to say that all of the parts are painted. If I can finish the truck without a train wreck, I'll be most happy.
