time to make a huge mess.... but at least not worry about the cross bar rusting out from the inside again
had to modify the hose to fit a epoxy nozzle..... it worked, ish
this is after cleaning up
time for blow up toys
problem is she didn't love me long time - her fan overheated....
right concept, poor execution.... ah well, will get another blower and try again
otherside stripped
then spent another 8 hours sanding gaps and channels... woohoo.
Pretty sure there will be less pictures on this.... honestly, how many ways can you take pictures of sanding?
brown Santa was good to me today
these things finally came down enough in price for me to consider it
it comes with a bunch of cartridges
first to try
starting here
okay, not terrible - maybe 3 minutes
with the black paint stripper... maybe 7 minutes
then 80 grit DA
certainly faster then...
my workers were busy little bees today
first was an instruction course on the various ways to resolve dents (heat, hammer, cover with trim)
then they were set to sanding
they did a nice job....
so onto another task... now to save a door (and the irony is I may have just bought a NOS door).... ah well, when fixed it will sell for what I'm paying for the other
first, mark the spot
take apart the other piece I cut off before
trim and test fit
then go back to my comfy chair because that...
more done today
made the decision to simply fix the original driver's door
and set the hood on it along with removing the window... good thing - there was a rust spot developing....
worked on the door but not pictures... should say, Don worked on it, looking far better now
oh I should probably mention this here... the Suburban is going up for sale.... 12.5k 1994 6.5 diesel, 250,000 miles, 10 gal water, diesel heater, bed arrangement, arb awning and dometic refrig.... and a lot more.
start with this tonight... finally got my replacement doors and hood. they are in better shape but they didn't powder coat them. I'm actually glad....
granted, a colony of moss was lost to the ether
and a hood
tomorrow, I'm supposed to get the replacement doors from the powder coater (and hood).... so time to get this moving forward
spent some time hammer and dollying the starting the bondo process
and cleaning the roof
Don worked on this for awhile then we rust killed it....
and started pulling...
spent a couple minutes on the tailgate today
problem was I wasn't paying attention to my helper and he got a bit jiggy with the grinder
so I got to spend a few minutes playing heat shrink... actually worked out pretty well
new doors and hood should be here Monday...
