I had a little time in the shop this morning. I installed side trim on my fender from LMC and it was very thin and flimsy. Not real happy with it. But what do you do? I have been waiting on replacement door trim that came shipped with a dent in it.

Lookin'Sweet!

dwcardfan · 06-29-2015, 05:11 PM

I got passenger fender and door primed and ready for last wet sanding then paint.

dwcardfan · 06-29-2015, 05:12 PM

Door!

Had a little set back. Don't really know what to do yet but it looks like my seam sealer has shrunk and wrinkled the paint. It has not flaked off but I am afraid it will.

**TJ's Chevy** · 06-30-2015, 09:33 PM

Ah, it'll buff out.

Ta2Don · 06-30-2015, 09:59 PM

Ouch...

dwcardfan · 07-01-2015, 09:45 PM

Installed passenger side door seal. And got the passenger fender and door wet sanded and ready for paint.

Ta2Don · 07-02-2015, 09:48 AM

Lookin Great Brother!

**TJ's Chevy** · 07-02-2015, 09:53 AM

X2! Looks good!

Lokin4AReason · 07-02-2015, 09:54 AM

nice progress =0)

dwcardfan · 07-03-2015, 11:44 AM

Thanks guys. I need the encouragement. It takes a lot of motivation to go to the shop in this heat. Especially when you got a million other things to do. I painted the back side of the passenger door this morning. Maybe next week I can paint the other side and fender.

dwcardfan · 07-03-2015, 12:40 PM

Mounted the mirror.

Ta2Don · 07-04-2015, 09:10 PM

Lookin great brother,

…and I know what you mean about the heat...

Zane M · 07-05-2015, 12:24 PM

Looking good!

Well I decided to paint yesterday evening. This was my first time to paint in the evening in a while. I forgot how bad the bugs were.

dwcardfan · 07-06-2015, 08:05 AM

It turned out pretty good. It laid down real smooth but the bugs decided to go for a swim. Maybe I can buff some of it out.

Ta2Don · 07-06-2015, 08:44 AM

Bugs in Arkansas??? Say it ain't so...

Had my ex's Brother-in-Law visit from Montana back in July 2001, and his statement about Arkansas was "This is Hell with Bugs!"

Lookin' good Brother!

**TJ's Chevy** · 07-06-2015, 10:08 AM

Nice work! Looks good! Yeah, them bugs will buff out.

dwcardfan · 07-06-2015, 10:52 PM

The Bugs didn't look to bad after all. I decided to mount the door and fender tonight after work.

dwcardfan · 07-06-2015, 10:53 PM

Now we have both sides.

Ta2Don · 07-07-2015, 10:11 PM

Awesome Brother!
