Thread: 55 Wagon Progress

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...
