Hot Rods The part of the build I hate!!!!!!!

The truck is coming along, I enjoy making brackets, fabricating,
building a roller, even fireing the engine the first time, then it all comes apart for the part I dread..........bondo, prime, prep and paint!
I don"t know if I can keep enough enthusiasm to get past this part
this time!
"Put it on, block it off - put it on - block it off - put it on - etc."
Seems like so many wasted weekends! God, I hope it's worth it!

 

Very nice....

 

so shoot primer, put it together and drive/enjoy it for a while before you go to final finish

 

Let me guess, you're one of the guys that enjoyes wireing a car right? Bodywork is the most relaxing part of any build IMO.

 

dude ,Im there right now ,Torn down to frame,Mudding all day today and tomorrow ,Still havent figured how Im gonna paint it though .Bodywork is easy ,Just takes time ..My problem is where to put the parts .........Sheds are full .And Im painting the frame first and then I have to find a home for it somewhere .I want to put it in the house ,But wife has that full of*****.I just need the space to work on suspension when thats done.

 

Had a rough day at it today, sometimes it feels go to vent!

 

just drive it the way it is then, I like painted cars but why not.

 

That's my problem also, and I keep misplaceing parts and can't find 'em
when I need them!

 

I'm with Modified...I would trade wiring and/or just about any other part of the build for body and paint work!

...The truck looks great so far, keep it up!!!

 

Man I feel your pain. I hate body work myself and thats where I'm at on my 50 Sedan Delivery. Lots of body to work too. Been at it on and off for weeks now. Good news is it looks like one more coat of primer and its ready for paint.

 

ya. I always say that between each of the 4-5 coats also.

I HATE BODY WORK. The process is life shortening. Welding fumes, bondo dust, liquid chemicals, paint vapors. Did it for years. The thought of fiberglass work still makes me itch. Cough, cough, pick your nose, cough some more, swirl some kleenex and ream your nostrils, cough some more, and whoa-La! Beauty beholds, in the form of a magnificent painted surface.

 

I must be the only Mexican in SoCal that can't do body work- although I try- IT*****S- these are the times I wish I had a better money supply hahahahaha

 

Brakes, I hate brakes.. Love wiring, hate brakes.......

 

Well Said!!!!!

 

I hear ya. Im at that stage in my project now and I***** at it

 

HHMMMM.... You notice I haven't offered to drive up and help at all yet, either? There is a reason why everything I own is kinda rough and primered! Seriously though, if you do need more hands, give me a yell.

 

We are meant for eachother. I love body work, painting and even wiring. I dislike the engine and trans part. Let's trade cars and finish each others jobs haha then give back

 

The easiest way to do body work ( after you have the panels fitting right, and all metal work done ) is one panel at a time.

 

at least its nice and cool outside right?
