Finished welding the patches on the pass fender. Blended and sandblasted. Applied Chassis Saver and then several coats of undercoat to the backside of the fenders.

Fishn4, looks like you do some very good quality work. I wish your speed would be addicting to other body shops like your fast pace is going. I hear horror stories on wait time.


Thanks for all you are doing......fine job there :2thumbs:

Just to let everyone know...still blocking! :faint: Wed afternoon Don Sr., Mic, and Dons brother came and helped clean up some more parts. I'm still planning to paint the outside in the next few days.(I'm picky about bodylines, staightness, and bodygaps) :screwy: Won't be flawless, but very very nice! :2thumbs:

 :cheers: That block sanding is like crawling on the desert sand for miles and miles and miles. Once in a while ya need to wet your whistle, not too much though, the lines tend to look wavey then.  :roflsmiley: July 5th. can't get here soon enough. Tony I sent ya a PM, I think the trim is ready, good to go. When you need it let me know, I'll give you a helping hand for a weekend, rain or shine, buddy I'll be there. - Jim

As most said here, this is truly inspiring.
You have earned your wings no doubt fishn  :angelwings:, (and all others involved too  :angelwings:  :2thumbs: )
It really doesn't get any better than this.
So many devoting their unselfish time to another just makes you smile  :bigsmile:
When I'm doing my R/T now, and say to myself....Ah I've done enough, I just think back to this thread, and I'm suddenly inspired to go on, and do just a wee bit more.  :working:
Great job is putting it lightly to say the very least, but I think you know what I'm getting at.
Cheers man  :cheers:
