Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew

I would recommend this thing to anyone doing more than a few panels. It's not a finish tool but it gets you really close in a hurry. No longer worry so much about how flat you lay your filler on or them berms you make when you overlap with your spreader. Also, after your filler hardens there's always that slick, hard "glaze" to it that's a drag to cut through with the block - easy peasy now! I'd say that with this and a very small amount of hand blocking I'll be able to epoxy it. I'm sure there will be lots of places that need more filler but they'll be small. Guide coat will tell. I dunno about the paper I got - "Dura-Gold". I'm using P80 and it seems to clog up quicker than I'd think it should. Still kicks-arse, but seems that the best sandpaper always says 3M or Made in Canada.

I've got an old small journal 327 with it's forged crank and camel hump heads. Plan now is to zero deck, cool pistons and rods, roller cam, single plane (painted), painted headers, script covers with no holes, Holley, snorkel filter housing, filler tube with PCV provisions, HEI with mods for a bit more RPM. This is what I really want. ZERO chrome and plain-Jane but making real power past 6500. Kind of a Z28 theme with my Muncie and 15's/poverty caps with white letters on 50's. Dual fours under a single snorkel filter housing??? - would that be *****in or what!? On the other hand - Vortec 5.7 (383 of course).

Got some new lights in the work room
