block sanding and new things for the shop

[Russ69Runner]

Heading from the roof to the upper cowl. Quarters are done. When it is level and straight then will spray it with feather filler. Block it one more time and paint. Added a new exhaust fan was tired of all the dust. Choked me up. Also added new Led lights in the old florescent fixtures. They where easy to install and what a difference it made. The Led light is a much purer light. Well getting closer every day. The holidays are here so some time to shop for gifts. Of course got to take time out for the family. But then back to work on the runner.

Dang Russ - looks like a prop job flew into the side of your garage. it's gonna suck the primer off the car. Just kidding - car is looking great!

 

[Russ69Runner]

Just hope some of the paint will stick to the car when start spraying. Don't worry got a safety line to tie off to quickbird.

It dose sort of sound like a C 130 aircraft. Big Block. Cant here the radio over it.

 

[quikbird]

I might just get buried in all the sanding dust Quikbird. Just about got the roof wiped into shape. Who would have thought that the roof was that un level. Think when pulling it to weld the roof rails distorted it some. Seams as if the space between the roof rails where lower. At the rain gutter the sides of the roof had striations in them. So it might have been when it was produced in the mold. Heading to the upper cowl to make sure it is straight already see a little dint on the driver side not bad probably happen in shipping. now for that cold beer.
