Looking good Rev.

The good Lord certainly gave you some skills.
Zeds are more fun than women!!   You know I'm right, but you're too scared to admit it!!

This is a 'no pic' update for now.  I've been hearing Serpent tell stories of his polyester primer etc so always willing to learn and experiment went out and got some polyester high fill and....WOW  :o  This stuff is awesome! it's a 2 pac application where you lay down about 4 double header coats with about 5 minutes flash off in between, I left it overnight and then begun to sand.  The finish is like nothing I've ever used, it fills the imperfections and comes out smooth as!  I've just found a new best friend!  Can't wait to prime and topcoat BUT lots of knocking back of the high fill first :-\

Thought that it was time for an update.  I underestimated the time I would need to spend on the Ol' fashioned 'hammer & dolly' work on the guards I think I probably spent about 10 hours per side and probably 5 hours per side on the doors! But after almost giving up I'm happy with the result.  Just got engine bay left to do and inspection flaps and I'm ready for a bit more Polyester high fill, run back, prime and topcoat...not long now.  Also got the rubber on the new wheels and it looks ok!

Hey Gav, I'm still undecided to some degree, choices right now is Omaha Orange, Octane Orange or a red/orange.

Well I had some fun on the weekend, went to fit up the headlight buckets onlt to find that like most Zeds there was uneven gaps between the fender and the cone...so I came up with an idea that worked fantastic.  I thought I would post some pics in case anyone else encountered the same problem.

What I did first was to make a template out of thick card that would protrude about 2cm around the guard and bucket, I then bolted it together and applied body filler up to the card on both sides.  When this had hardened well I then did a rough sand to remove most of the excess filler.  I then removed the bucket from the fender, removed the card (carefully) and then reattached the bucket.  Then using a hand flat sander made sure that I sanded accross the fender and bucket to make sure they were even.  Separate the bucket again and sand a small chanfer (beveled edge connecting two surfaces) on the bucket and guard.  Prime both surfaces and reattach...and presto perfect gaps with factory appearance.
