Okay. Item one. Take inventory of my supplies. I know I want to stock up on some 3M Stikit sandpaper. I had been using Porter Cable sticky sanding rolls, but they are for the wrong application and make a mess of my blocks. I also want to find a better sanding block. I've been looking at Lucky Matt's and Linear Blocks. Linear has the 32" flex block on back order, but a 44" for the same price. If 44" is too long, I can always cut it down. I think I only need a long block for my big panels. I can true my Dura Blocks for some of the smaller areas. Otherwise, I think I have enough prepaint degreaser. And plenty of lint free rags. I still have plenty of 3M Platinum filler, which I hope I won't need any of. I also have about a gallon of epoxy primer hanging around in quart cans.
For a small moment, I thought I would short cut things, but I won't. All the glass will be coming out, doors and fenders removed. It's tough because of all the time you spend making things fit. But, there are tricks that can be utilized to put the doors right back where you pulled them from. All the basic stuff was done long ago, like rebuilding the hinges, so there is no worry about putting the door back and it not being where I want them to be. Any rubber that won't cooperate will be replaced by Steele Rubber. Most of the stuff on the truck is still pliable.
Some of the worries I need to figure out? Where to put the doors and fenders and such while I'm doing the main body. Where to put the '40 when I roll the body out and start working on the doors, fenders and such. Things like that.
