We're into the home stretch on bodywork! Four fenders and one hood to go! So, if you follow my threads, you'll remember me building a 1949 Chevrolet 3100 which had a contraption I called Jigasaurus that held all the fenders in place while I did the bodywork on them. I recreated this for Rick's truck but did it for only two of the fenders this time. Holding all four was a bit overwhelming. So I named this scaffolding Jigzilla! Why does everthing I do have to have a name? Beats me! Why you asking? You should know by now nothing I do makes any sense!

After several hammer and dolly rounds which made the fenders worse than they were before I started, I sprayed some DP74 on them since it was the only epoxy I had on hand. But that's ok since about 2 gallons of Rage and 8 coats of primer will be in top of that so the red won't show through. And I'm glad I have some of this left since a certain GM product I'll be starting on might need this red oxide primer underneath!

I'm on Reserve this week with work, so hopefully I won't get used and I can have these painted by the end of the week. More to come!

Cheers
Dave
