Saga of the Hood - CCPU
I’ve caught some warm weather the last few weeks - and got my hood painted before winter. I just thought I would post a few pictures of the process.
The Passenger top panel had a crease about 18” long in it. I placed it over the edge of my workbench and gently worked it out. The rest is elbo grease, primer, guide coat, more primer (and a little spot pudy). Hard part is painting each side, then having to wait for the paint or clear to dry before I could flip it and do the other side. |

Re: Saga of the Hood - CCPU
Yea, I counted them because I managed to loose two of them... How hard is that, they should have been in the cab, right? Then try to find two more that aren’t Phillips head......
Now I’ve discovered that my visor over the windshield has been drilled for tacks in front of the tack strip. More body work to do, after I had a nice coat of paint on it. |

Re: Saga of the Hood - CCPU
As long as you use 4 strings to keep the panels close to level.

Re: Saga of the Hood - CCPU Now the visor
I don’t have a very good way to hang the items - and from my experience in painting the Visor - it starts moving, and becomes pretty hard to control. Like Pop says, it’s easier to paint it flat.
Started to weld up all the holes... after some major grinding to get to clean Metal.... I found that trying to weld the holes created bigger holes. Then the battery in my welding helmet decided it was done doing the darkening/lightning thing, so I was also done with the welding. Have a nice coat primer drying over the bondo now. Got to buy more Vagabond green. Still have to work on my tailgate, so will need it anyway. |

Re: Saga of the Hood - CCPU Now the visor

But, like most others say, it's yours, so paint it whatever color you want.. Wouln't the extra holes be covered when the top is installed?
