After six month off, an MRI,  couple of steroid shots in my shoulder and some PT, I am back on the REDO.

A lot of rain this May in Western WA, glad to have some sun!!

High build primer,  a couple of body lines and to fix but over all pretty happy how it came out.

The primer blocks out beautifully!  Much less work than FFG2  ::thumbup

FFG2 cover most of the pinholes but a few remain.  Using evercoat metal glaze ultra to fill these

Thought this blocking 180 grit could be used but even with 80 the FFG2 clogs the paper up a bit

Lines and panels really coming along with this blocking

Second application of FFG2.

Really dialed my gun in and it flowed a lot better with minimal orange peal
no reduction 2.0 tip and a D cap with 4.9 psi on a 5 stage turbine.

Used about a gallon

No new updates on your build?

Hey Michael,  I had to go get a Steroid shot in my right shoulder as I had a constant ache, which was reminiscent of a pain I had in my left shoulder 20 years ago and ended up having rotator cuff surgery.   

I took some time off to let it heal and doing some therapy to strengthen the right side.  I'm left handed and the right has always been weaker.

I go back to the Drs on the 26th of October,  its a lot better but still kind of f'd.

Started blocking the car with some new blocks  https://linearblockingtools.com/ which seem to help as they are easier to hold on to.

I’m not on much these days. Life has been busy but, I do stop in to check out builds from time to time. It has been an incredible transformation for sure. You do excellent work! You’ll have it finished in no time. Keep at it man
