you're gonna amount to something someday son, just hide and watch

I can like a young man that can receive constructive criticism and remain cheerful and open minded.


you've done so well taking my advice on this project I'm gonna dust off my copy of the Kumatra Suburama (freakin Indians can't talk right, but they're pretty nifty on the porn) and see if I can't perk up your married life a bit!


being it's momma's day just give the little woman a leering grin and tell her big things are in store for her!

I'll go see if I can find that book now.

but hey a word to the wise, you might want to do some stretches while I'm looking for it.

I pulled something really bad back in '73 when I was a uh student of Indian philosophy.

happy wife makes for a happy life

My dad uses this stuff a lot and is becoming quite a fan of it. He's trying to talk me into using it on a few spots on the 78 F-150 I'm doing.

What! you didn't work on it on Mothersday?

Nope, I made an grader blade for my old tractor many years ago and haven't used it in recent years because I changed that old tractor into more of an antique tractor pull rig and the grader blade doesn't work on it any more. So, me and the boy converted that old grader blade into a pull behind grader for fixing the driveway. That was kind of our big project yesterday, build that pull behind grader and fix up the driveway.

It works pretty good, now if it would just stop raining....

boy, you have been getting hit hard, haven't you?

Raining cats and dogs here.

On the way into the building, I stepped in a poodle.

Just a little sanding tonight, getting down to bare metal.



bondo excavation.


The dent in this door must have had a half a gallon of bondo in it, there is no sign of thenm even trying to pull the dent. I think I'll get by with a little less filler when I redo it.



I also took a picture of my paint color (new color) in natural light. It's the sunburnt copper.

that paint color is going to make that car pop.

That is going to be a great color.

I'm trying to convince my friend to bring his custom Thunderbird up to the car show. I told him to cuz he has it for sale and you never know. Dave I think I showed you a picture of that car.

I like the Key Slime Peral next to it.... I like your color too.

Looking good dave, keep it up.

I would have guessed Plum Crazy! for you.

Rainbow for Tom.

Wrong Tom, that would be Tom264 for the rainbow.

Pert neer half way sanded.

First pass at shredding all the old paint and fillers off this side. I'll go around the entire car again with 80 grit to "clean" things further.

But it feels really good seeing the slate partially wiped clean so I can take a fresh run at the body work and paint.

A lot of things have changed in the past 35 years when this car was last refinished. Better products are available today and more importantly the car is 3 1/2 decades older and that much more desireable. So the expectations are up quite a lot as far as body & paint.

unfortunately I uncovered more problems with the rocker than I thought I was going to find.


But it's ok, it will be fixed correctly when I'm done.

383 ? 440 ? 426 ?
