Wow Tom, that is pretty impressive! Can't wait to see it mounted and in the sunlight.

And the naked brut looks out upon the curvaceous body that awaits!

Thanks Larry,

Quite frankly though, it looks better in pixels from a thousand miles away!

I only got the body to "Pretty darned straight" stage.  Since I was up against a time window I figured I'd not kill myself getting every last sanding scratch and minor wave out.  As it sits, it looks good from five feet.  But it flunks the 1' test.  The final priming and blocking will happen next Spring after I've changed my mind about the final color a few hundred more times!

Wow..  Looks good Tom!!   I'm interested to see it in the sun.  After shooting more primer this weekend (this time I did it), I have a new appreciation for the work involved in getting it where yours is!!  

Cheers,

BTW how are your fenders coming out around the seems? Just the front halfs of the fenders. the back halfs are fine.  I'm having a dickens of a time getting those perfectly smooth with no feeling of a ripple, wave etc.  Any Tips for that?

I was ready to try explosives!

I'm the wrong guy to ask as mine are still a bit wavy.  When I sand those areas I roll my strokes from outside the fender to the inside while moving around only about 8" to 10" of the lip.  I only make one pass then feel the panel.  Another pass then a feel.  Makes for slow going, but mine are a LOT closer than when I started.

Wow! It really looks great Tom. What did you think of the S.P. epoxy?
