Re: 1966 F100 Short Bed Styleside Metal/Body/Paint Work

I did a quick/light blocking with 220 on the areas that were already pretty good, and 180/220 on a few spots that needed a little more flattening. 3-4 spots needed a small amount of filler, and it was ready for the last coats of epoxy to seal it and make it ready for wetsanding and paint.






I mixed in a bit of red epoxy on the first coat, then shot two more coats of black epoxy. When I wetsand it to prep for sealer/paint I don't want to sand through the epoxy layer, so I'll be able to stop sanding if I start seeing the red tinted layer.





Checking the reflection for imperfections while it was still wet. That's the look of a man who's happy to be finished sanding such a detailed panel.






The vid shows how flat each facet is.

The blocks used, plus the PVC tube with slots cut to make it flexible for the double concave area on the back of the cab above the rear window.
