Hey Fellas, geez! it's been a while! I'm on the site everyday but haven't posted on our thread for a while. I haven't accomplished too much on my car except I've stripped all the fenders and started reworking a few spots on them. I have a few issues with my truck that I'm dealing with too.

Dave, your car is looking beautiful!! Saw some newer pics of it on another thread.
Mike, do you have your car buffed out yet?? We need some new pics of your progress!
Bobby, what's up with your '37 these days? Is your guy still working on it while you're doing the '31?

Anyway, just checking in to say hey. Will post some pics of my slow progress soon....;-)

Hope all is well!!!

Like you I'm here almost every day mostly just checking in. I have been sanding with thousand grit and am about 1/2 way around the car. Sanding this clearcoat is a great way to find all my painting faults! 8-( I'll see about some photos.. hate sharing my mistakes but... I'm going to take the week of the 19th off from work and push to finish the exterior as much as possible.

I was thinking that "we" hadn't chatted in awhile but, I haven't been "chatty" as work .... get's in the way... Thanks for taking the initiative!

'mornin' folks. Randy and Mike, glad to see you folks up and around!!

I'm here every day but don't post quite as much as I used to, but it's still fun. I've had my car out a couple of times, but not as much as I had hoped. Too many other things, mostly house related, going on. I did get some wind wing brackets so now have to make up some templates for the glass. The template supplied makes them way too big.

Randy - slow progress is way better then none

And as far as "faults" - I found a couple that I hadn't seen before when I did good polish, but neither is a big deal. Mike, if you have a run or so, a single edge razor blade (careful ! ) will work as a scraper. Just knock off the sharp corners. There are tiny body files especially made for them too, but IMO, don't work any better then a $2 for ten pack of blades.

Gotta get back to supervising the new roof going on above me ($$$$$)

Hi Dave and thanks for the razor tip. New Roof = CHA CHING!!
