It's been a while since I updated. I've been mired down in body work and took the wife on a little vacation. 20 years we've been together. [emoji15]
Anyway, if you saw the public service announcement thread you know I'm finishing out the cab corners. What a learning experience this has been. Products are so different than what I used last time I did anything resembling this. Just to refresh. Don't do this.

You will hate yourself. This panel was pretty warped and was trying to oil can so I welded a support in behind it.
A LOT of sanding and filler later.....

Then on to the glaze....

This U-pol dolphin glaze is really nice stuff. The upol flyweight filler isn't too bad either.
That side is pretty much ready for primer. I blocked it to 180 with my ~16" foam block. In the end it was a ton of work but it turned out pretty decent I think. I'll know when the primer goes on it.
In the mean time I stripped the primer off the drivers side and skinned the paint up a little higher.

As you can see, there is old filler in there from an old dent repair. I cut a lot of the dented metal out with the rust repair. It had been pulled out and filled.
So I stripped it back a little more and slapped the fiber bond to it.

I'm no expert, but I think this is much more reasonable.
I started with the block then went to the DA to smooth it out and feather the edges. Knowing that it will get blocked with the other filler.

I'm trying to learn from my mistakes.
Anyway, we shall see where we get tomorrow. With the cab corners done, there's really not anymore serious body work. Need to weld up the last couple holes from the visor. Clean up the bottom of the pass door. That's about it. If the weather will cooperate a little longer, I may make paint before it snows.
