BODYWORK CONTINUES...PRIMING AND BLOCKING

Our main focus at this time is to apply the finish paint to the tub which includes the engine compartment.  Once that is accomplished , the assembly process can begin.  
Following the application of the first several coats of high build primer, the first blocking and filling procedure is initiated.








The high and low points in the sheet metal work are easily recognizable as the blocking progresses.















When the blocking and filling is complete, another several coats of high build primer is applied.















Now the body lines are more defined and the surfaces are smooth and relatively blemish free.















Most of the small imperfections visible in the sheet metal following the first application of primer have been repaired.
Next we will be blocking all the surfaces again.  This time it will be much easier and less time consuming.  At best, from this point, there are two more applications of primer and three more blocking procedures before the final application of the black urethane paint.
