Re: My 78 K15 High Sierra build - Fish Tremble

As mentioned, been doing filler work for a while now. Have the cab close. Just a little more work on the firewall and windshield frame. Got a new toy for Father's Day which should speed things up. It's a Hutchins 3800 Orbital Action Long Board Air Sander. I did some research and most that got this sander said it was great and sped things up. The inline air sanders - not so much. I'd read a bunch of reviews where it was used once and the owner didn't like it so never used it again. I've only tried this one on the firewall - vertical surface. A bit tough to control but I'm getting the hang of it. After I finish these couple areas of fillerwork, I need to sand down the entire cab and hit it with epoxy primer. Even though I hit it with a rust converter months ago, it's been so long its getting surface rust in places anyway.
