More Sanding!

Dad and the guys at the shop have been busy sanding the past few days so that they can paint the front end by the end of the weekend.

Here is Dad finishing the cleanup on the radiator support braces..

Dad sanding the hood of the truck.. Any imperfections not sanded down or smoothed out will shop up when painted.

Joe tapping out a slight crease found in the front hood.

In order to fully pull the crease out of the truck Joe used a metal shaper.. This tool is awesome.. It heats the metal up which allows it to shrink or expand depending on how you work the metal.. In this case Joe was able to shrink the metal which reduced the crease in the metal.

Joe's son Eric applied a thin coat of bondo to finish up the hood prep.. Ready for paint!
