Skip68 and son Nick starting the resto PICS!!!

[mikepmcs]

Here's the first installment of the first blue General Lee. J/K... But Chuck and son Nick are getting busy on the resto.

By the way the sander spun a bearing, that's why the hard core sanding.

"Let the sanding begin"

[skip68]

Got a new sander! Yeah!  He's in the garage now with our son, Nick, and the kid is sanding the hell out of it! (Free labor! Hahaha! ) I love to see him do stuff with his dad! makes my heart happy!

Looking good! 
I would like to suggest a sanding block for the hand sanding to keep things flat and keep your hands from cramping!.

[skip68]

I'm going to get some blocks in the morning.     What size should I buy?    Thanks.   Chuck...........

[mikepmcs]

2x4 if going by hand.

I bet your son is having a blast. It's pretty neat that you two are working together!

[hemi-hampton]

By all the different Size Blocks. Forgot the name but the semi hard black blocks come in a kit with many different shapes & sizes. A  DA Sander is a must. LEON.

[skip68]

Thanks hemi-hampton and Mike.  I'm going to do as much of the prep I can.   Can I put filler over the paint once it's sanded smooth ?   My car has several spots that need it to make it smooth as glass and that's what I want, SMOOTH AS GLASS.     My son is loving it and me too. He's the one behind the wheel when it goes in and out of the garage.     I've got today off so I'll get some blocks and stuff.  Thanks guys.             Chuck.................

I agree.    You can make some out of wood if you're unable to source any locally.

Search AFS sanding blocks on Google. Adjustable for countours, longer lengths available. HIGHLY reccomended. Well worth the money.

[skip68]

Thank's 73ralleye440magnum.  I'll do that.   

[tan top]

some good progress going on there    , keep the pictures pictures coming

[73rallye440magnum]

No prob, skip. I've had them for about 3 months and they are EXCELLENT.

[mikepmcs]

Technically Lee1 was blue for a little while, but I knew what you meant.

It's looking good and a blue GL will be a refreshing change.

[AirborneSilva]

Lookin good guys, keep the pics coming

You are very correct sir... I have your proof right here.  I have a friend in Jim Shine.

That's awesome.It's great to see you and your son working together. I use to take my son to work every Sat.( At the Body Shop) He loved it. It's great bonding. I can't wait til it warms up so Shelby and I can go down and start working on her car.

Me too, only I don't get funny, just stupid er. 

[mikepmcs]

No my crap was really funny and so sarcastic it's killing me.  I know you, of all people, would have appreciated my starhidismos behavior.

I'm a huge Cynic, what can I say.

[mikepmcs]

I hijacked, I'm sorry!!! I can continue this in another thread or the PM machine

[Ghoste]

I don't think you can hijack your own thread. 
Anyway, was Lee1 the inspration for a blue GL or just because blue was the color of the Charger being done?

[mikepmcs]

Ironic.....I really don't want to continue this hijack. It's really not my thread.  It is Skip and son Nick's so I'm done with the banter for now.
I do enjoy posting pics of them both working on the 68.

If you would like to continue this, PM me and I will try to answer the questions posed. I do not know the answer to the last question but can find out for you from Jimmy and Travis.
