Re: '55 International Metal/Body/Paint Work

The hinges were primed with DP90, then scuffed and shot with Slick Sand the next day.




After block sanding, ready for K36.




The floor/firewall panel was blasted, primed with DP90, and seam sealed before being sprayed with three coats of homemade Lizard Skin type sound deadener/heat insulation.










Dash panel sprayed with Slick Sand and block sanded.

Re: '55 International Metal/Body/Paint Work

Amazing work, John. Most people don't have a clue at the effort and time that it takes to get a body to that level. That International looks especially daunting because you don't have the luxury of a separate, floating grill or chrome pieces that you can hide mismatches underneath. That whole front group is out in the open, with miles of panel gaps to address.

A Master at work...............love this thread!
