More body work progress on the back of the cab.
After doing the rough bodywork, spraying with Slick Sand, and guide coating.
I started blocking the around the stamped ribs to get the rolled edges and surrounding area straight. While holding the block flat against the outer flat areas and using an "X" pattern 45 degrees to the rib line, I use the edge of the block to cut into and shape the edge of the rib. This keeps the outer block edge from making lines that would show up later. Letting the edge of the block dig in and shape the edge of the rib cuts the edge down to the metal and thins out the primer so it can't crack later on too. I had some runs on the cab corner that I trimmed down with a razor blade- those areas got reguidecoated after the pic was taken.
I always block the flat sections first, then go back and do the curved sections with a flexible block. If you do the flat sections last, you'll have a flattened edge where the block stopped contacting the surface where the roll/curve starts. By doing the curved areas last, you can slightly "comb out" the curve into the flat section for an even and smooth transition with no blocking lines.
The lower edges were bodyworked just like the top side.
