I was a little surprised that there was no rust at all on the radiator support or on the inner fenders. This might be the second truck in over twenty years with that happening. Not really sure on the true backstory on this truck why the front sheet metal was from a 69 truck and if that was a complete front clip install. Anyways I am glad that it is in the shape it is and did not have rust to deal with.

Was able to get out in the and get the sheet metal power washed that needs some black satin paint to go with the newly painted fenders. After that I moved over to wet sanding the areas that were scraped off with a straight razor blade. Using 2000 grit wet dray and a small modified block, then 2500 grit and final pass over with the 3M Trizact 3000 grit foam backed wet n dry.
It will need a few passes with the buffer with compound then to finish it up with a round of polish. Basically the same process I did on the cab when I had a few runs to fix. Hopefully this will let me move on to the door painting and the hood to wrap up the outer sheet metal painting.
