Blocking and sanding sucks

[Wyflyer]

That color seems to be getting very popular I can see why, it looks great!

I kept the factory color, the main reason was I wanted the color code on the vin plate to be accurate. Plus I liked the color. Thanks for the positive responses

The paint and flares look awesome

Yes, blocking and sanding sucks. Big time. That's all.

I agree I just finished replacing the tail light, rear quarter and rocker panels welding up holes, applying and sanding body filler. Now I'm trying to decide to strip down to bare metal or not.

Those rear flares turned out real nice, wonder where you got the idea... Nice job!

 

[Wyflyer]

I got the flare idea from other Broncos, of course!

Dam, that looks great, really love the rear fenders, way better than flares.

Just starting to sand mine. Been putting it off all winter. It's right up there with hanging, taping, sanding drywall.

Looks nice!! Blocking does suck.....thats why I don't do it!!

I like the color......reminds me of my 79 I had back in college. I painted it myself and the color was awesome....turned out looking almost like a new, shiny, penny.

This color is "hot Ginger poly" but a couple years later they called it "copper". Genius.

i highly reccomend buying a cheap line sander from harbor freight if you have alot of major bondo work on flat surfaces. about 2"x10" long air driven. i'm not sure what i'd have done without this thing, at least for the roughing....

Even with one of those blocking sucks.

So who wants to come over for a blocking party next week?" free Beer? Thin Mints?

I'm not sure helpers increase productivity.

I've heard of those forced child labor places

Love that color myself....I repainted mine back to original as well but I skipped out on full blocking it 'cuz I was planning to have desert pin striping anyway. When I re-do it again I'll do it right.
