Shorty - my 1952 80' Series 1

Hi there Troy

Its looking good - well done (answered your PM)

I tried to talk to Ian a couple of night ago but he was a little under the weather - well he sounded well Hydrated......hahahaha

All the best

Wayne

Troy
The truth is Wayne must have been underground, and there would have been a echo, or time delay.
Or I may have been a little tried from working on my Landies.
can not think of any thing else.
cheers
Ian:p:p:p

Ian - I wouldn't have though anything different ;) (spray putty is my friend).

Wayne - I have replied to your pm. Are you coming thru this way in your end-of-year travels??:D

Am just loving the 'spray putty' - seems that even I can get the guards to look straight (er).

Hopefully by the next go they will be almost right :D

Righto - back into it...

Hi Troy
Looking good
use spay putty over all the guards it will cover other dings.
when you are getting near the end remember to dust it with a black coat to show high and low spots
another little tip
blunt a 3/16 th drill bit and slowly drill out the bog in your spot welds before you put your final prime coat
cheers
Ian

Thanks Ian.

I have given them both another decent coat on the patches and shall get the ech-primer back on them over the weekend to ensure all the alloy that is now showing is covered. Then I will apply the spray bog to the whole lot.

I suppose you will expect that these things shine when I am finished ;):D

This is looking great mate, nice work, keep it up :D

Yes Troy,
Shine like a beacon to the lost(landcruiser drivers that is).

Keep up the good work.

Guards are now drying (again) :) . I have put enough putty around the things for them to look like they belong on the car, so I sprayed them with ech primer this arvo.
During the week I will spray putty the whole guards and sand them back nice in prep for the green stuff to go on :o - Thats as long as I dont knock them around in the meantime :mad:

So much for doing anything on Shorty this last week :( I have been too busy at work to get anything done and to top it off - we went to Melbourne Friday (really - that was for a 40th B/Day so all was good :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:)

All I have managed to get done (as I now feel sober enough to go into the shed ) was sand back some putty along the tub and apply a bit more :o. That's gonna have to do it for a while; well at least until I find some time during the week ;)
