well we started the day by getting the CJ and Baby Blue both in the garage... We needed to make a filler piece to fill in by the fender ... turned out awesome ...with about an hour worth of fabbing... Mike hard at work... Primed and finished... while Mike was doing that I tore the other fender off and did the prep work ... Mike fabbing the second fender ... I got the other side hood cut but we still have some fine tuning to do.. taking a break might go out and play a little later... but in all had a pretty productive day... Rod

Things are at a stand still.....Paint the fender is not going good....for one the weather sucks for paint drying...paint is not like primer....it does not spray as nice.... Thinking the tip is wrong on can so I am going change it up with my primer tip...much wider spray....see if that will not help with last coat...if it ever dries... Rod...learn as I go I guess...

heat the can and paint by putting it in hot water for a while. shake the piss out of it after its warm. this increases the pressure and it sprays better. do NOT pour boiling water over it...just hot tap water in a bucket works. make sure there is no water around nozzle b4 you start spraying. Old model car trick. and yeah, the 100% humidity isn't helping...I'm painting my shop, its been wet for 3 days.

It doesn't matter that much at this point Rod. You will probably end up wet sanding and doing the final coat in the spring once it is all back together. You have a good base for now... that is all you really need. Looking good.

Is there a support group I can join....or a search and rescue team I can send out to Man Land periodically to rescue Rod? I am just asking now because I have a feeling it is going to be long winter.... Tracey It is truly looking good Rod... just think how good you will be when it comes time for the Kangaroo Wrangler...lol....
