No tug boats available, luckily I had the entire parking lot to myself. Those two vehicles leaving were in the next parking lot.

Re: The F350 Thread
Guide-coated & blocked out 5 pieces of the fiberglass with #220 dry. The pieces are now much straighter & ripple free. Threw some primer on the 4 smaller pieces.
Identified some spots on the back that need repair/reinforcement, but that won't impact the work on the front sides.
Will finish the two bigger pieces to this stage on Friday.
Once all 6 pieces are done to primer stage I'll guide coat again & prep with #400 wet.
Brackets are done...

Re: The F350 Thread
Discovered that owing to the water based crap paint, I have to prep to #800 wet. Right now I'm at #320 dry on some parts, #220 dry on others #400 wet on one piece.
Checked the W&D stash.. #180, #240, #320, #400, #500, #600, #1000, #1200, #1500. #2000, #3000....but no #800
Arsebiscuits.
Will be sanding on the parts outside when I can work in the shade later in the day. Ordered some #800, will be here tomorrow.

It's the fact that a full sized VHS player doesn't absurdly huge which makes me laugh.
Oh and the fact it's installed in an 1990s MFI coffee table/hi-fi unit.

Re: The F350 Thread
I notice they didn't include a pic of the underside of the dash. Centurion conversions are known for absolute birds nests of wiring (altho my Waldoch isn't much better)

Header/expansion tank swapped out. Known issue after 3 decades, they split at the seam.

You want to fit one of those fake EV charging ports so you can abandon it if front of half a dozen Tesla chargers

Re: The F350 Thread
Ended up in a fucking parade stuck behind a food truck coming out of the mountains. Had a FTS moment & went from P5 to P1. Only other vehicle to go for it was an F250 back in P9...

Removed, cleaned, painted & reinstalled the inspection cover on the (E4OD) trans. Used the same Steel-It paint I used for the rear axle, brake plates & pumpkin.

Re: The F350 Thread
Lost my damn mind today... First you have to realize I'm home alone & unsupervised all week...
Started with a minor project involving the Griots G8 3in polisher/buffer to remove a couple of scratches by the lock on the drivers door...
Then...
I rolled under the truck & polished the oil pan...
and the bottom of the oil filter...
