Ya know, sometimes you get the feeling you're not appreciated. Like nobody really cares what you're doing on your cars. Matter of fact, sometimes it's like the car actually laughs at you despite all your work.
Well today, that fact was undeniable and it wasn't the voices in my head! After not being happy with a wave I kept feeling (and it kept moving around on me!
), I busted out the guide coat, 220, and a 2ft long block. And there it was, clear as day!! Laughing at me in “Emoji with the tongue sticking out” form that I've used here twice!
And with that comes good news in that the rear fenders are ready for paint now that Wavey-Magoo is outta here. Next up will be the hood.
After much debate, I convinced Rick to order a new set of fenders for the mighty Ford. The originals, and the donor truck ones, are just way too banged up. Sorta harkens back to the moon landing photos as they are hovering over the surface right before touchdown. I talked to a guy that used the new ones and he said he'd never straighten another orginal set again since these fit so good. We got to use the original rear ones, so that's a bonus!
More this weekend!
Cheers
Dave
