Okay, back to the good stuff. Updates! I think I'm about done with the rear wheel well/corners. I need to let the epoxy cure a little, then coat the wheel wells with some 3M rubberized undercoating. While doing this work, since space is at a premium, I put a blanket on top of the cab and store my fenders up there. The back is full of running boards, rear bumper, and fenders for my '98 C3500. The rear wheels are on the front seat. So, we let the cats go play in the playground, as long as I'm not painting in there. Don't need any cat hair in the paint. I guess one of them had a near miss, grabbed on to the blanket to save itself, and yanked the passenger fender to the ground. No major damage. A chip on the lower edge and some deeper than surface scratches on the fender. Small gouge on the passenger door. Stuff that can be fixed when I go to do final paint.
So, I need to coat a few more brackets and stuff. Mostly the retainer for the bottom, body to running board skirt. Plus I need to second coat the rear splash apron and the brackets that support it. Then it's time to reassemble and maybe make the Twilight Cruise-in at the NHRA Museum on Wednesday the 1st. Nitro Revival, Irwindale on the 18th, maybe the Lion's event in June. Then, I might just blow it all apart and put some color on the thing! You'll know when I know and you'll probably see it here!!
