The flange is all welded on the top rear panel. One more part ready for the primer.

Started getting things in high build primer today.
Hood, fenders and roof panel can start to get blocked. The top needs more work. The primer at least makes it so I can see what needs to be done. It was just too much of a mess before.

Hood, left fender and top

Hood and fenders blocked down and 2nd coated with high build. They look good. I think they'll be ready for paint after I block down these coats.
I put the cab back and roof cap on the truck to get them out of the way. Fits very good.

The hood, bezel and left fender are ready for paint. I ended up doing another three coats of high build, then blocking that back down, then a final coat and blocked it down to 800 grit.
I found a low spot on the right fender so that got some more filler, sanded down, and more high build. I put the guide coat on before I left for the day. I'm out of high build so it will have to wait until that comes in hopefully this afternoon.

How do you like that HF paint gun? I have one but have never used it yet.

Haven't sprayed with it yet. I'm using my Devillbis starting line (eastwoodco) guns for primer.

Sprayed color with it today. Nice gun. I'm no expert, but it's nicer than my other cheap guns. I'm really loving disposable cups too.
Got everything close to final coat of high build. The hood was done so I sprayed the inside of it. I don't see a problem with having the front clip all in color tomorrow.
The color is Lily White. I have a quart of Cygnus white for the top and bezel too.

Hood and fenders first coat
That is a great way to hold the fenders. Are they bolted to the 2x4's or the cart?

They are clamped to the cart. The 2x3s are just screwed.
The LV fenders are lag screwed to a wooden bench. That worked even better.
It's impossible to work on the damn things when they are not held in position somehow.

Put the front clip on to check the shock tower placement.
And just because.
