Small progress

[Rick_L]

I mentioned in my first post that I'm in "block sanding jail" on my quarter panel replacement.

After shooting some more primer surfacer and more block sanding I'm happy to report that I'm at about 97.5% on this panel. I may be out of "block sanding jail" soon! I can't call it early release. A couple of pinholes in the taillight area and one on the wheel cutout and we're done.

One thing about this panel that I've never posted about here or elsewhere was that the fuel filler door area was a bit low. Makes sense that it would be, they probably punch and form it after the rest is done, or at least form it. It wasn't out much, building the area up with Slick Sand fixed it.

Congrats Rick! It sure feels good to get there, doesn't it? It felt great to finally have my car completely blocked and in the final primer.

progress is a good thing rick.

Double Nickel, it looks just like the photo I posted earlier, a stock 55 quarter panel with primer on it. Difference is, it's going to stay that way instead of oil canning with no warning. It's a more exciting concept to have that complete than to see it.
