Yes but if you're underneath that means you're worrying about bits that no-one but you will see!

Lots of runs to sand out, but hopefully that'll be it then.

I got back from my holiday yesterday to find it's 90 degrees here. Now I'm suffering from jet lag, heat exhaustion & paint fumes -not a good combination!

Ha ha, sorry. I really didn't want to come back. Checked on the chassis today. Not looking too bad, but a few runs to rub out. The aerosols kept dribbling drops of paint as I was spraying. Haven't had that before -maybe to do with the heat? I spent ages shaking them. So I've got some blobs to sand out too. I've got 2 cans left & really want to make sure the underside's all covered cos there's nooks & crannies I can hardly reach, so will clean it up then blow another coat over the underside. Then I've got to paint the axle!

After the tragic death of Simon Nefarious Pollock this week -a good friend & superb painter who was supposed to signwrite the doors of my Anglia pick-up last year, but it wasn't ready -I've decided I really need to crack on with this rebuild & get back out & enjoy it -before my time's up too. So this weekend I've finally finished faffing about with the chassis paint. It's taken s-o-o long to sort out. I'm working in a rented lock-up garage with no power supply & limited heat, (small butane powered camping heaters), so had to give up trying to paint over the Winter & have only recently re-discovered my building mojo. I've repaired a couple of patches in the green cab paint, including the flat panel below the swage line on the back, which need lacquering to blend in with the rest of the cab. Then I'll mask the chassis up & spray some textured black stonechip paint around the inside bottom edges of the cab & under the sills. I hung the rear shocks on this evening, just to see how they look against the shiny chassis. Next big job is to spray the rear axle to match & refit it so I can roll the thing outside.
