40 Willys Pickup Street Rod

Thanks Terry!

My biggest worry on something like this is - I get bored and can't seem to get up for finishing it.

 

[Sherman 18]

Okay been home today with a sick little one. I get some sanding done while she slept.

Repair is coming along. The worst part is the underside, I did not know it was not very even.

 

[Iron Mike]

Fill the underside to a swoopy curve, it'll look cool and hide the mess. Looking good so far!

 

[Kevin]

Cool looking Willys Sherman, I like all the modification on the body. It will be well worth all the effort when it's done.

 

[Sherman 18]

Thanks Iron Mike and Kevin!

Man, I've seen the same thing sitting down at John's Rod Shop (google it). This is some major work Jeff, doing fine!

 

[Sherman 18]

Thanks Moon Puppy and thanks for the link!

John's Rod Shop does some good work.

Looks good so far

Shot some primer on tonight

nice to see the top of the hood come into shape

Still have a line and both fenders still need work.

 

[Iron Mike]

Munch better, although the second picture shows a hicky in the right fender that needs some blue stuff. Looking good!

 

[Sherman 18]

Thanks Iron Mike!

letting the primer set up now and for the room to defog Will recoat with putty. I'm happy the hole is gone from the center of the hood! I am also thinking I should have layed back the front hood peak some. :hmmm Nope I'll just finish it up.

 

[Iron Mike]

Naw, the peak is bitchin' the way it is. Just feather edge the filler on the right side and you're golden. One thing I've found is that any solvent based paints will ghost the filler back to the surface, so go easy on the first few coats, with plenty of off gas time between coats and it will look sweet!

Clearly your 1:1 experience plays a lot into what you are scratch building. That's cool!
