Being out of bodywork for over 20 years now I find it harder to get things as straight and fast as I use to. I've forgotten little tips and tricks in my methods then it comes to me midway in the process.

I'm still doing bodywork now and then and I'm loosing my ability to get things straight.
My hands don't work as good as they use too. Getting old sucks at times.

I spent a month on my fenders, felt like glass in primer... neighbors probably thought i was a weirdo as i slowly caressed the tops of the fenders in that way you do to feel for waves... Soon as i shot color the bodywork gods showed up and laughed at me...

I ended up rubbing them out with a blue jean pad and cutting compound and i'm OK with how they are.. i need to rub the rest of the car now though..
 
My Dad was a '40 Ford guy, I liked them too, but was a little more open minded in that subject :lol: One Sunday morning I'm reading the ads in the LA Times and find a '40 Willys hot rod for a very tempting price. I had a job and money in the bank. "You're not putting one of those ugly POSs in my garage!" he said :lol:. "Dad, the only difference is the grill." :rofl:'40 Willys coupes occupied drag strip from coast to coast :steering:Keeping in mind this is the same dad that did 140mph at El Mirage in a flat head roadster :lol:

I took the bumper guards off and welded in the center hole before rechrome. The chrome was a little more than that for both bumpers

Yeah, 1k for 2 bumpers would be more doable.. 2k+ for 2 though... no way.. mine aren't peeling.. will try polishing them eventually
 
Cardboard burned.
Have to start moving some stuff around. But first i need to do some work on my home made bucket forks. Im going to need them shortly. See if beetle will fire up after sitting a week. Then Dart. Think there are some decent bumpers in the back.. if not i have some on the Duster. They are really nice for 50 years old.
 
Here is a picture of my arch nemesis today. It is locust trees, they are medieval and eat saw chain like candy. I am on second chain already today. What I need is a second back! Them stickers hurt and will go thru a shoe or tire with little to no regard. Thorns on every single branch, tuff to drag the tops.

I would burn them where they stand.

Made from some home made fork extensions that didnt fit my forklift. Needed to add 1” bolts to keep them on the bucket. This isnt really for heavy lifting but to move pallets of parts and pieces. Hoping to make racks for stacking stuff in the barn. And a rack to hold 3 or 4 differentials.
