    I have watched all of the episodes on this truck so far. I am amazed at the experience you show doing the body work. You must have been doing this for many years to do what you do. I would love to have the body work knowledge you have. I don't have the time to start from scratch.Good series, thanks for doing it.

Whenever I have tried to do bodywork, it comes out worse than the defect that I was trying to put right. I can wield a wrench and even make sparks with a Mig but I'm in awe of what you can achieve! Thanks for posting your work and creations 👍👍👍🇬🇧👍🇨🇦

    Your explanation of covering the whole surface to sand it back makes a lot of sense as a beginner who has only done a couple body jobs. I have always struggled with the low spots on either side of the Bondo and thought it was because I was using 80 grit instead of 40 grit to rough things in.

    Gotta love the 8" orbital sanders. We call em "mud hogs" in my shop. I like to use them on big areas like those doors, then shoot heavy polyester fiber infused primer on the surface. It's so thick, it eliminates the need for a glaze coat for pinholes. Really speeds up the process.

    I can honestly say I've never seen /watched anyone paint or prime using both hands with the same dexterity, either with spray gun or rattle can, and make it look all the same, a guy couldn't ask for any better. I first noticed this when you painted the 51 Dodge Crusader. When its all said and done, the truck will no doubt turn many heads, many will say, WTF is that? and Whatever it is...., I want one! Pat yourself on the back bro, you're rewriting history and creating something that should have been..👍👍

    Working for my brother in his shop when I was a kid when we rubbed the car down with Klix to remove wax and dust he made us keep one hand in our pocket so we would not touch the car with our bare hands. Then we would tack it off with tack rag and be the same way keep that extra hand in your pocket so you would not mess up the car by touching it and making a fingerprint fish eye spot. Brought back memories to me as a kid helping out at my brothers shop. THANKS
