    They would see you coming for sure!!


    Made another trip to the car wash tonight. Tire soak, high pressure soap, and a rinse...











    While Kyle was media blasting, I used the 36" AFS to block the tail gate.





    This had been blocked a couple times before and never seemed to come out right. Of course, I was using a shorter block as well. The 36 really did the trick in getting things nice and flat...








    .....and getting things ready for another epoxy session...














    Moved these out of the way, closer to the door so we can get tires on this weekend. Order trim rings today, now for some baby moons that fit... I swear they get brighter every time I look at them..

    Best part is they are NOT red.

    I find the bits you're using to hold the rotors interesting.. secure and keeps the paint from the interior. NICE!

    Uh-oh... here we go....



    Picked up some 400 grit PSA paper yesterday, used it this evening to get the tail gate finished to 400 grit, next week we'll wet sand to 600 grit.





    Nephew Chris came over and helped Kyle and I get the frame off the rotisserie and back on the floor..








    With the rotisserie freed up, we now have a new paint fixture...









    Parts prepped for epoxy primer tomorrow...












    While I was getting these parts taped off, Kyle started blowing apart the rear end for media blasting..
