A little project update on Chug A Lug

That's a dangerous proposition, lol... ask me how I know 

(Looks awesome  ... hope the lines in the hood sort themselves out-)

OK so after a fun 62 hour week of Dump trucking I got off about 2pm Sat and rushed home got some stuff organized and managed to get another coat of Sealer on the Fenders and inside of the Hood (needed due to sanding out imperfections in the first two coats) This morning I flipped the hood and caught the exterior. I also threw a little more sealer on a couple of thinner spots on the Fenders.

SO at this point in time I am waiting 2 full days (maybe 2.5) before I sand out the exterior of the Hood and Fenders. then I will have 2 days to get the Blue on them (both sides of the Hood will be a problem as I have been painting it laying down) I'll have ONLY one evening session to do this as the Color recoat window is only 18 hours. I am sure I will be working long hours all through this week. So its going to be a PITA. If I can't get the Blue on in the evening this week I will have to scuff up the Inner fenders inside and out and the underside of the hood for the Paint to stick as I will be out of the 4-5 day top coat window of the Epoxy Sealer.

WOW its as bad as calculus trying to figure all this out.

Then I still have the Windshield frame and tailgate to do both are still in High Build Primer.

My new goal for paint is to have everything ready to color sand by the 4th of July.

Well a new work abuse record. 125 hours in 2 weeks. Oh plus a small raise. What do they think they can do buy me off? LOL

So nothing done on Chug except in my head since last Sunday Morning. Tomorrow the wife will throw me out of bed at 4am and I'll be in the Spray booth by 5am. Hoping to do a quick scuff sand on the Hood interior and the whole of both Fenders (required since I missed the 5 day limit for top coating the epoxy as shot). If I can get two coats on before 9am I am going to a small car swap meet. Then home to work on the porch as promised. I'll then flip the hood Tomorrow evening and get a couple/3 coats on it as well as a 3rd coat on the Fenders. And they will be done.

Still have the Tailgate and Windshield frame to get sealed and painted. Maybe next weekend.

BIG Pay checks will be rolling in for the foreseeable future so I guess its time to pickup the last things on the shopping list.

When you get a chance, please post some pics of your large-scale model aircraft in the 'non-Jeep-related' area of the 2A Page. Some of us would love to see them--4-ft wingspan, wow!

Just so it doesn't get lost This was the only one I could find. I did most of my Model airplane stuff prior to going digital for photography.

The plane is a Tomahawk kit from the 60's that has been slightly modified for an even called FOX Racing. a Control Line even where 3-4 plane race around the circle at the same time. 70 lap heats 140 lap final with 2-4 pit stops Only engine allowed is a FOX .35 Stunt engine.

All my other planes are packed away (25 planes from 18" Wingspan to 48" wingspan take up a huge amount of room when not the center of attention.
