Good evening Illinois and a happy August to all!

Was 86° here today, with a carbon copy for tomorrow.
The 90s return on Wednesday and run thru the weekend.

Mowed the front yard and spread bug killer on the back yard.

That sounds like a busy day. So are you ready to shoot some color?

Not yet Rick, tomorrow I'll get the high build on all the front sheet metal. I still need to spray the epoxy on the rear fenders yet but can spray the high build shortly after that. Then I'll start the sanding on the cab and box then spray the color on them. After that it will be wet sanding and polishing before setting them back on the frame..

I think the next round of sanding should go fairly quick because I have it all in pretty good shape now..might end up being a month behind what I had first thought..

I don't know when it starts getting cold there but I would think that there is enough time before the white crap flies.
