Getting the top laser straight would require a skim coating of body filler across the whole thing and a lot of block sanding. I don't blame you for drawing a line somewhere. I'd also bet some of the dips and imperfections came from body flexing. Looks good from here though!

Tomarse posted:When i started on this car i specifically vowed that I was not trying to restore it to concours condition but was going for 'usable and wont go any rustier' - but with paint surface prep I find it hard to stop trying to make it flawless! Yeah holy poo poo I wish someone had warned me of that. The lid of my truck looks good... but I kept going back to it when I'd catch something in a weird light. Or I'd find a rock chip. Or I'd fix a few rock chips and say 'no that's fine' but if the filler came out for anything else I'd end up getting just a few more little spots. Are there any difficulties getting paint there? What are you using?

Tomarse posted:Its further away than it looks in the photo. The pump is actually further away from the exhaust than the stock fuel accumulator (pressurised reservoir - now removed) originally was. You're cruising bud. You're really doing well on this, especially for the time of year. Of you cruise around the forum it feels like a lot of people are just resting. I haven't done anything noteworthy in months.

trouser chili posted:Some things are worth buying. My tank adventure took weeks and resulted in a very nasty infection when I cut my hand. Also I ignited some of the hydrogen gas that had collected inside the tank once; That sent hot nasty rust water shooting out the pump hole like a geyser. I had the time to take because the IH had another saddlebag tank that I could run the truck on. Those SOBs are so long and a pain in the rear end. I had mine rigged up from the rafters and I teeter tottered it back and forth with gravel and acid inside. I only coated one of mine, and if I decide I need to mess with the other it's going to a radiator shop.

Nice work! It seems like every time I use my spot cleaner the water coming back is that dirty, and yet I'm impressed every time. How do these carpets and seats get so filthy?!?
