Started spraying rubberized undercoating on fenders, running boards, inner fenders. Gonna have to wait till Monday and go buy a whole bunch more.

Any interest in these old Four X Doctor rocker guards? They have been on my Jeep for over 20 years. Now I'm just tripping over them. These ones just bolt to the tub, not all the way to any body mounts. $75 Might end up in a scrap pile

Down to one more fender before the cutting compound comes out. Here's a rear fender (fiberglass) at 1500 grit and some water on it, should look like that when it's done. They definitely look pretty flat. Guide coat after 1500 Somewhere in all four fenders there are some flaws in the clear I...

Not as many participants this year but a pretty good flow of spectators. Forgot to mention this show is also a scholarship fundraiser for Tooele tech, my cousin is a welding instructor there. Probably last show for us this year and the goat wagon might not be back out for a good while?

Goat Wagon will be out at the Tooele tech days show tomorrow if anyone is out that way. 3-7 Not sure we will have any other rods out, maybe the Hemi 40? We have a plenty busy year next year. Also I was in Alberts trophy room the other day, here's some of the T-shirts the wagon is on, empty...

Was out in the garage for a bit today revisiting my headlight situation, I have already went through 3 other sets of LED headlights that just would not work with these headlight buckets and bezels. The Holley retrobright I really liked but it was a no go, the lenses are too tall and you are...

He's not new to a sewing machine, he does boat covers at home when not working his day job. The leather is a whole different "animal" to work with.

Here's a few of the blocks and such we are using Busted out a few more small panels, tried to get a picture showing the nibs on top of the base coat, we didn't sand base. Seems to be sanding out just fine. Neighbor got the seats pretty much done, this is his first time doing leather...

Spent some time today doing yet more sanding, I tackled 3 of the 4 small filler panels, I'll have to remember to share some of the blocks we are using, between "big kid blocks" softer "durablocks", DA with 3000-5000 grit pads. Trying to get everything to the cutting compound stage. My bro was...

Here's dads car, the "Fordy Stalker" at Autorama in 2004, so 20 years later we are going to put all three 40 fords in Autorama together, this is going to be so awesome. And the Hemi powered 40 has never done Autorama.

That's about as flat as this stuff is going to be? just needs to be polished and waxed. Got some ideas rolling around for sharing the three 40s at Autorama, tell our story.

Well, here we go, I'm voting not to do any more clear, we ended up with some nibs on the sealer and base coats. We wet sanded the base coat of the cab and bed but not the rest of this stuff. 5 coats of clear on top. I'm hoping we can just be mindful of the nibs and hide it all in the sand and...

"Comparison is the thief of joy" I always bust out a whole bunch of easy tasks, 5-10 minute tasks are completed almost daily. If I walk away from a larger task I don't beat myself up, I'll return to it at some point.

Thanks for sharing. I'll find out how bad I really am but I certainly have functioned for 46 years now and did okay. I can have multiple projects going on at once going back and forth, sometimes I'm determined and can hyperfocus on a single thing for a long time. I can get frustrated...

I gotta say it drives me nuts seeing these just chillen in my garage everyday. Still trying to be patient on tire purchase, gonna change the look of the truck a lot. I've had a lot people assume I'm using the rollers on it.

Oh hey I'm not the only one, I actually write lists down all the time, especially on my days off. I live alone so keeping myself and my house maintained is all me. I use post it notes as well and stick them in rooms as reminders or on items I need to remember something about, maybe even a...

Thanks for the support, I'm glad I'm not alone here, there's a whole load of different varieties I'm finding out. I slipped through the cracks until now probably because I did do well enough in school, wasn't disruptive, never got in trouble, grades weren't super terrible, I did however move a...

Figured I'd share a little something I've just recently learned about myself and my own struggles with mental health, for decades now I've had my ups and downs as I'm sure most of us have, chasing after a solution to my own depression and anxiety, antidepressants have never helped and create...

Everything has color and clear, even the bottom of my hood. Now there's tons of sanding coming up, we didn't wet sand the base coat so we plan on sanding down the clear on many parts and adding 3 more layers, then more sanding.

Tinkering on the Why J. Throwing on new rocker guards to match with the fenders. Should probably be working on the other project though.
