Okay, Today I sanded the filler I put on the hood, pretty muh done with it, not really sure.. And got the fenders primed!!!! Going to cover the bad rust spots with diamond plate, basically the whole piece where your feet go. I dont really care. I have to fix the cracks with the welder, and then sand them and grind them and reprimer the fenders again...... Oh the joys of bodywork........ Also the right side is 100x worse than the left with rust.... Hardly any on the left side.

Hi,

The Green Paint? Is that better than Spray Paint?

Yeah, i would say it is better than using rattle cans, you can get more coverage, and if your good, not get any runs. This took about 3 mins....

Got the cracks fixed in thr fenders this afternoon, ground off the primer, cleaned the cracks, welded, then ground again, and sanded with the big air sander. Might have to sand with the other one tomorrow, also put my hitch back on and had to repaint part of it because of a socket ring. First pic is of the back side, and the second is of the front.

Okay, here are the details, I replaced the nuts and bolts on the back as you can tell, and sanded most of the rust spots away on the fenders. Hopefully i can paint them tomorrow, or this week. Brake shoes still arent in yet, but I did get one other thing for this today!!! Check them out!

Today, I painted the brake pedals, and some of the rear again, and removed the decals from the hood. My grandfather painted the fenders and hood yesterday, I really dont know what im gonna do about either one, the hood needs alot of work, and so do the fenders on the big rust spot. And also some small dents. Still ot sire when the shoes are comin in, when they do im ordering a decal kit. Going to put some yellow duct tape on the seat where the rips are, I dont really want to spend 220 on a seat. They are only on the top anyway, really in good shape for its age.....

Painted a few spots on the brake pedals i missed, cleaned the inside of the side panels, and that was pretty much it.

Got alot of sanding done today, had to fix 3 cracks on the pedestal, then sanded the rust spots out. Got everything else green sanded too. Not sure what all the little indents are on the pto sheave either..........
Also, anyone have an idea on how to get the tag out w/out damaging anything?
