Roadkill style!!!
Evening, gents.
Pinholes filled, finely sanded to 180, degreased, and now with a shot of high build primer.
Tomorrow: more blocking.

Lookin good but way too much body work and patience involved for me. I prob would have just riveted them on and said that was the "look" I was going for.
Yeah. It is a lot of work to make one part of the hood look really nice. My buddy thinks I'm nuts.

Good practice for the dodge! Looks great man!
Looks cool. can't wait to see it done an painted.

Should be the other way around though. You should be practicing on a Dodge to work on a Chevy.

Nice work though. Never seen louvers done this way.
I've had several working happy hours in the shop, but tonight we're going out, so I'll stop here.
Remasked the hood, block sanded down to 320, cleaned up each of the 114 louvers to ready them for a finish coat. Using the high tack 3M tape, I ran glaze across the ridge between the original paint and the reworked area, pulling the tape before the glaze started to set up. This should level the surfaces for a final coat of primer.
Time to sweep up.

Cannot wait to see it painted!
I have ZERO patience for body work.
I love the fact that you have more time put into your hood than I have in my last two squares put together. Lol!
Me too! I'm no body man, but have gone way down the rabbit hole on this project. I'm within striking distance of laying down the first coat of satin black.

Cheers!
Banquet is good
N.E.D.
A day of details.
Laid down a second coat of primer, blocked the body to 240 and then 320, and sanded the transition flat using 120 then 240 then scotch brite medium and finally 320. It's all very smooth and doesn't grab a fingernail.
I filled the last few tiny pin holes, so those should be ready to sand in the morning, and then it's on to the first coat of satin black.

First finish coat down and wet sanded. Missed a few pin holes, so those are filled and drying. 320 dry sand to level those and then it's the second and final top coat.
