  2. ****, I thought that part of it was already done.
    That's the worst part of the build for me too.

    Looks good Evel. I know what you mean.
    put it on...take it off repeat until your fingers bleed.
    I can't stand it either. I swear I don't know how Plowboy does it all the time with all the body work he does.
    My 37 coupe is in need of a redo...
    I spent last night looking the body over with chalk in hand circling all the needed repairs to give it a good surface for some shiny stuff.
    The more I marked the more i realize i really dont have the heart for it again.... sanding ****s and is boring.. :(

    Awww the Zen moment of building a car. In the end, you'll know every square inch of your car. Throw in sum good tunes (in your case; Bullet Boys, Dokken, etc. Hahahah!) and sand away. Good job Evel!

    Sanding ****s, but the prep separates the men from the boys. Looking good so far.

    Why does this not surprise me? I think it has to do with every good craftsman I've ever met actually does enjoy the whole process. That way he has control over the final product. He might not be estatic over each step but doing each one well just makes the final result that much better. Your frame of mind can either work for you or against you.

    It seems like every car I work on is like your A. I end up skimming whole panels all the time. You definitely got to get your mind right . Its a workout all right! Once you get the paint on the car, you forget all about the aches and pains, and the hard part is over. Keep sanding. I'm out here doing a 40 Ford right along with ya!:D
