Dang.. now I gotta go back and re-read the last several posts. After seeing that motor photo.. I just missed the rest!
And Steve shared an project photo that anyone would be proud to have too!
Good work guys! Now I'll get back to reading ( and trying to pay attention this time) but no promises, it's hard to consider blocking out the pickup roof when faced with a huge V8 like that!

another pic of roof after more blocking and a reprime. The early pic of the filler was maybe a poor picture of what the end result was after the blocking and recessing some high spots. Theres no spot with more than 1/16 th of filler on it. I hate filler.

Well this is the last pic for the next 10 days, my wife is dragging me off on a vacation. I told her we could spend it working on the truck ? My boss wasn't real happy either but that's life. Had to do a little machining on the hard ware but I have the rear disc installed.

Work on the truck has been very slow, the body work is kicking my butt I just can't seem to get the surface on the back of the cab to look smooth. Here's a couple pic's of the plane.

Actually building a wooden frame plane, I would love to be your gopher for a time!
All those fasteners must add some pretty good weight..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

Ditto I have the same problem on the cab of my truck. I think the bed will cover most of the major PITA spots, but we'll see. Still waiting to get it back!" "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.
