Getting things ready for the next round of SPI epoxy, here hanging the 9" rear on the multi-purpose rotisserie a-frame..
We had this bare spot after the last time we blocked, and had bumped it a bit with the flat body hammer.
Doesn't look like it did much to rectify the issue, let's look further....
Looks like the rear end of the inside bracket is pushing a bit on the skin, no wonder the hammer didn't do much. Time to find the tool for the job, a pair of crimping pliers for stove pipe/ductwork.....
That should give us some breathing room, and bumped it again with the hammer.
Put the SPI in the paint shaker, should have tapped the lid a bit tighter..
More parts ready for spraying....
After 3 coats of epoxy....
Here's some of the "restraint" methods for painting the small parts....
Here clamps for the tie rod ends are held in a twisted loop..
I think the fenders should be good for wet sanding after this go round:

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.
