Just a little more rubber on the ground.

Now to save up the scratch for new tires.

I guess it's time to start the body work too. Damn that's a lot of sheet metal.

Sweet.

The longer the board the better you will be.

Try stringing a roll of sand paper on a concrete building and just driving back-and-forth...

That's a fact.

I think there are close to 70 of these studs to be removed.

I'm not looking forward to it. Much sanding will be involved.

That's a good one.

BELT SANDER?

If I can make you feel at all better about it, be glad they used the stud system. You just need to grind those off and sand. Imagine if they used the standard push in connectors and all the holes you'd have to weld shut.

There are a few holes to fix too.

As for sanding, my father has one of these:

He's used it on his boat with good result. I'm thinking about trying it.

Yeah, these things work great. Use a lot of air though, and needless to say wear ear protection. No, use ear plugs and muffs. After you prime it with sanding primer then use a long hand board. Take your time and watch for the low spots. Using alternate colors of primer helps a lot. You can't miss your low spots that way. You'll be proud to show off that much straight sheet metal. WTH, paint it black.

My spray skills aren't up to black yet. I have a hard enough time with white.

LMAO... Good one.
