Am I done sanding the body?

[Dave Tabor]

Ok, on to the body.

The car is go-cart-able and the electrical is done/tested.

I ground all the seams, used a Dremel to grind out any gelcoat or bubbles, filled with West Systems epoxy and then a few go-arounds with Rage Gold and block-sanding.

The next step for me is to spray Slick Sand Primer and sand and spray and sand.


Am I ready for this step?


The goals for the car are a 10-footer track car / street flogger. I figure that I have about 40 hours in the body so far (all this week). The final color will be white in single-urethane.


The body FEELS smooth but my hands are not trained for this. I was tempted to float the whole body in Rage but I suppose that's what the Slick Sand does. The doors have been fit and I'm not going to fill anything between the body and the doors- they look good to me and it took hours to get the doors hung/sanded to fit well (enough). I'll be cleaning up the door-hinge cutouts.


I appreciate in advance any feedback or guidance.


Thanks,

Dave
