As stated before, I have been working the mud on the front fenders. Lots of mud and lots of sanding.
My friend Bob came down yesterday and we set up a temporary paint booth outside to do some priming. Bob was the mixer and I was the painter. We shot the front inner fender wells, the upper and lower front fenders and a few other front end pieces before we ran out of primer. Sure was a lot easier with the two of us. At least this will keep the rust away for a while until the real painter gets going. That should happen within a few months.
Now I need to take the hood apart and strip all the paint off it. There are still a lot of pieces to get ready and prime yet. At least we got a good start yesterday..
Got to take my grandson Parker home tomorrow or at least to Chicago so he can fly home to Seattle. I think he had a good time here in Iowa.
Forth of July coming up this weekend. Headed to Cedar Rapids to spend the weekend with family.
On the 11th of July we pull the boat out to Idaho for a couple months. Looks like the F1 will sit for a while. Hopefully the real painting will start when we get back in September.
