You may be dead before he finishes it - like watching paint dry. But it will be awesome till ya kick the bucket.

Just in case you think this ribbing is all cruel - TWM knows I am messing with him and he does awesome work - that WC is most bodacious.

Finished the body work and sprayed the high build primer to smooth out some areas. Metal is ready for a light touch up with a scotch brite pad and then the final paint. Need to removed the wood and bed strips and PRIME AND PAINT the wood. :-D :evil:

Here are a few pictures:

When your done sanding that stuff turns out baby butt smooth ey - no wrinkles - no pits - no divets - just shear flat surface to shoot a smooth buttery coat of paint onto. But now I know you lost your mind painting that wood - total sacraledge.

Thanks all. Pretty smooth now but I have decided to leave the original spot weld marks on the sides since that was original. I went into the shop this evening and the wood was screaming......We don't want to be nekid anymore....
