How I block sand a 20 foot Cadillac Part 1...Feather Fill + Rage Gold on rear quarters

Music by Mountain Con

[@Gibson63.]

It’s like the sanding never ends but this is what it takes to have a smooth slick finish, looking good man

[@RatsnestHotrods]

Aint that the truth! Great to hear from you Gibson!

[@Boats29]

I always come back to these videos. The tunes are great and the information is even better. Great job man.

[@RatsnestHotrods]

Thanks Boats!

As a tech, I worked on many of these as no serviced the diff, but mostly turn ups and rebuilding carbs. Yes, I does take an acre to make a “U” turn. 4 people could sleep comfortably, same with a 1965 Chrysler Fury III four door. A buddy of mine destroyed that car after he wanted to barrow it. Never loan out your car! He started to fall asleep and hit the edge of a county bridge with concrete sides. He peeled 14” - 16” of drivers side sheet metal from front fender, door 1, door 2 and half of the quarter panel. You could see the windows and regulators...and they all still worked. ASE Master Tech since 1978-Retired.

Very nice. As they say, "more than one way to skin a mule". This way works very well for you and I sure like to see someone really try to get it as perfectly straight as possible. My hats off to you Sir! Tom

[@PHARRAWAY]

Prep, prep, prep is the name of the game looking 👍

[@RatsnestHotrods]

Yes indeed! Thanks pharraway!

[@crossmember343]

I am doing a 65 Chevy Suburban and I feel your pain on sanding. Thanks for the post.

[@RatsnestHotrods]

[@thomassenemounnarath3278]

[@DoubleRRestorations]

Taking shape Mike!

[@RatsnestHotrods]

[@thomassenemounnarath3278]

That body work inst " laser straght".

[@thomassenemounnarath3278]

And DURA BLOCK means dura panel. Not duiablity blocks. They sale them in all sizes and shapes at your local paint and body PROFESSIONAL store

[@TheOpenAirGarage]

Still sanding!! Looking good.

[@RatsnestHotrods]

[@RatsnestHotrods]

[@patriot2q2q98]

[@332ARA]

what grit are you blocking the FF with?

[@dateatorjr9671]

You shall now be known as “the sandman”. Imagine if it was a 4 door.. 😫

[@RatsnestHotrods]

Haahhahahahhahah!

[@thomassenemounnarath3278]

You cant just rub your hand on the areas of body work. You have to run you clean hand down the whole qtr panel

[@6655nico]

Hi great vids , learning a lot, were you get your dura block paper from , thank , I'm uk carnt seem to get it

[@thomassenemounnarath3278]

A bald head and long beard doesn't mean you know what your doing. Guide coat! Good touch, but us real bodyman, we dont need guide coat

[@thomassenemounnarath3278]

You must work for macco

[@perkypeanut09]

Looking awesome! How do you like the mid rise lift?

[@RatsnestHotrods]

Hey Charlie! Thanks for watching! I love it! Wish I would have bought one along time ago!

[@Okie-Tom]

Also, where are you located?

[@RatsnestHotrods]

Tacoma, Wa

[@Okie-Tom]

Way out west! I am in eastern Oklahoma and had 1 inch of snow today and is supposed to be down to 5 degrees in the morning. Burr. I just saw where they had terrible tornados in Alabama and several people lost their lives. Prayers for all that lost loved ones and property. We are in tornado alley and I have had tornados as close as a quarter mile from me. Too dang close! Whew. Keep up the good work. Are you self trained or did you work in a shop somewhere? Take care. Tom

[@RatsnestHotrods]

@@Okie-Tom I figured u were in Oklahoma by the name! Too cold and too close to tornadoes for me man! Self trained here Sir!

[@Okie-Tom]

Ratsnest Hotrods , well for self trained you do excellent work. I know a couple of brothers that are a few miles west of me that have a body shop, but their specialty is very high end Mustangs. Several of theirs have been on Barrett Jackson auctions. Some rare ones have cost over $250,000.00 to completely restore. They have a painter that goes by Skeeter. Can that guy spray paint. He is so good at color matching as well. I presently am working on a 29 Model A for my sister. It was a rust bucket. Everything was wore out. I am right now working on making and installing patches for the front fenders. Very time consuming making rounded patches with the wire edge. Talk later.

[@toons3115]

We're can I get a lift like that

[@RatsnestHotrods]

Northern Tool. Lots of folks sell it just Google bendpak mid rise lift.

[@toons3115]

Thank you buddy 😀

[@thomassenemounnarath3278]

On a old car like that, no wonder you dont know what your doing. You dont use polyester primer, sealer, not clear coat. Basecoat, use solvent PPG EVERYHTING. NOT DIAMONT, NOT DUPONT( WAS BOUGHT OUT BY NASON/ AXALTA

[@thomassenemounnarath3278]

Dont talk about half ass, when you just posted this vid cutting corners
