Great work! Your knob repair still impresses me. The biggest problem I have with trying to make new sheet metal pieces is thinking it out before trying to ruin the material.

Any excuse to play in the shop!
Got some more done on the wagon last night. I had picked up a few cans of Dykem real cheap at the local Habitat store, so I thought I'd give that a try for guide coating. It seemed to work well, and the translucent properties of the Dykem showed up darker in the low areas after sanding/highlighting (especially after more than one coat) to better show the lows.
Used the AFS sander and some 400 grit to highlight the defects...
High's and lows
Here's the tools used this evening, including the creeper
Got a couple hours of metal bumping left to do, will post results next time around...Robert

Very nice. I have some plans for some serious sheet metal projects this winter so I will probably be asking you some stuff when I get around to it. As usual, great work.Ryan

Ryan, be glad to answer any questions I can..
My inventory had run out on kick panel retainers for Trifive Chevys. I've been getting a few requests for them so I made up 14 sets last night, ready to go.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
