    Wow! Just WOW! Love the detail work, good eye, and wise choice on the nose change (quad headlights don't work for me on those lovely cabs). Looking forward to a front 3/4 look at that pied hood.

    Quick question: have you gotten far enough, or enough time, to know if/how much that slick sand shrinks?

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    I've been using slick sand for a bout a year now and I haven't seen any sign of shrinkage or should I say that its shrinks more than any other primer. I love the product personally.
    Here are some pics of my firewall that was slick sand and blocked a while go.




    As far as the quad headlights I use to have the same opinion as you but lately I started seeing some really clean 55-59 Chevy and GMC's
