Not much to show for my efforts this weekend. I spent 4 hours yesterday morning getting a hinge pocket patch panel to fit. I was in no hurry since my adhesive didn’t arrive as planned. Today I finished a small spot on the firewall I have been pecking away at, it’s close 🤷🏻‍♂️ The last thing I...

Nothing picture worthy on the truck today. But with thunderstorms in the area we put the porch of the shop to good use 😎

Then there was an extra drilled hole from the PO. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The driver side lower hinge pocket was a “second verse same as the first” scenario.

I’m trying to make the most of my 3 day weekend. Fixing rust is a tedious task.

A minor shop upgrade today. With the heat index around 110, I installed another fan.

This weekend I glued down the step. I’m very pleased with the results. I moved on to more rust repair. I removed the passenger bottom door hinge pocket. That was a treat! I also knocked out the dent in the middle of the belt line running across the back of the cab. No pictures of the belt line...

I sprayed a top coat this weekend but I’m not very pleased with the results. The semi-gloss is a lot more glossy than I was expecting and it didn’t lay down very well. I will get some satin black and give it a go next weekend. I am considering buying a paint gun. These rattle cans are getting...

Sorry to hear about your neighbors Chief 😔🙏🏻

Slow progress this weekend. I applied some seam sealer to the rain gutter and started the next repair area. The drivers side step is a usual spot for rust. It’s not bad but it’s best to nip it in the bud.

While I was working on getting the cab roof in final primer, it rained a little. This was noon. Some areas had 8” by 2:30. It’s still raining and rain is forecast every day this week. The far end of the muddy water is 3’ deep. My neighbor has a low spot 🤷🏻‍♂️ I sure am glad a live on a...

Thank you sir! I appreciate the compliment.

I finally finished the initial sanding and laid down a coat of primer. In the last 12 days it has rained every day with a total rain fall exceeding 8”. I was concerned about leaving the sheet metal uncovered any longer. I am not displeased with the results. There is still plenty of sanding and...

Yea that square body was a steal. Good luck with the Ford.

I started the bondo work today. That 80 grit on a sanding board will wear a fella out.

I upgraded my 20+ year old HF $30.00 welding helmet. I should have done this much sooner! It’s a Hobart Inventor series. I also found a good spot for my Direct Oil globe. I have had this since high school. I worked at this station my senior year (no they were not in use, I’m not that old).

And yet………..

I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your friend.

I made some progress yesterday. I would have finished the grinding today if it hadn’t been Mother’s Day 🤷🏻‍♂️ I picked up the pace considerably when I set down the 4” grinder and picked up the side angle cutter.
