Popular Post Willie dog Posted January 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2017 Have you ever noticed the more acreage you have the more it takes to work it? Been block sanding the WHOLE tanker body for two weeks......she's a BIG GIRL! I'm hoping the elves will come out at night and finish it up for me...... 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmyb Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 You know, I don't think most people would block sand that big of a job. But your going the whole 9 yards with it, and the results will be awesome. Just keep plugging away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post B-42 Posted January 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2017 Willie dog, You told me you had the nickname "urathane brain". Anyone who tackles a project like yours and can still maintain a positive attitude and a sense of humor must have had his brain chemically altered by toxic paint fumes. That would also explain your comment above about the elves showing up during the night. Hmmmmmm. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post eddeere Posted January 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2017 Do not give up . When finished you will really have a neat truck. If you skip a few steps now when you paint it you will regret it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie dog Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 I couldn't give up if I wanted to. I absolutely love this type of work and it's good therapy after a bad day at work. It won't be laser straight....there will be waves in it because it's 60 year old stamped sheet metal. I just want to make sure all the little dents and grinder marks are out of it. Oh.BTW b-42....I see elves eeverywhere! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 41chevy Posted January 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2017 I put beer and slim jims out for the elves to work on my mixer....all I got was a few drunk squirrels with bad gas. 4 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Vladislav Posted January 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2017 I have never had experienced with involving elves' labour. Just might be afraid getting some gramlins instead of them and the job ruined. 4 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

66dc75 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 That was the nicest Deville Vista Cruiser I've ever seen, oh wait that's the only one I've ever seen. That graft job was really well done I'm pretty sure it went up for sale shortly after that Worcester show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryS Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I agree, that is a really nice "DeVille" wagon. Anybody know if it was sold or where it went? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
