Alright gentlemen it is time I stop messing around and get the back quarters finished. Now as many know I had them put on quite awhile back and now for the first time it has been sitting in my possession for almost a year, owed it for nine. I will show the pics of the weld when I had the fenders done and the work I have gotten to it today at the bottom. I have spent over four hours just looking for the proper way to sand these fenders down with the proper curve, and nothing at all, just long straight pieces which does me no good.
I am using evercoat, and it is epoxy primer everything is being prepped correctly with grit and g&W remover just as Q instructed me before.
I have tried many different methods to get a smooth coat over these bad boys, but for some reason I am leaving high marks or even when I start sanding I am just not doing it right. I know I have a massive challenge with making them look equal, and Q I did make the template like you said, but movers lost three boxes for my garage and they have to be in there. I know I should have left them in my car. So now I have two fenders that are being built up and you can see in the photos where the naked eye, in bad light, can see. Do I need to just suck it up with the long flexboard sanders, because I have a short block but I cannot figure out how to work it and people say it can be done but show me a video, please.
I have been removing the big chunck with da on low and 80, again knock off, but then I switch to 120 to start molding or reducing the highshpots. I think I am working backwards, and Q when I typed in body work your video showed up number on front page, congrats.
This is no doubt the low spot from the weld is still there in certain areas, but I know you guys on here have never let me down, and I just want to make it right. I am working on them each warm day I have, only high 40 todays so don’t think I will be putting it on their today.
Maybe I need to sand harder with hand x’s rather than using anything, but again you will set me straight.
