Been sanding all week off and was on the last door when I heard a ping sound. Found this on the bottom of the door. I got to say it was nice to have something else to do other than sanding. Still debating on whether or not I should paint it myself.

Is that seem part of the rolled over edge? I was speaking with a friend of mine who is a body man by profession today and he was discussing how much he loved the sanding process....I myself have never loved that part of restoration. Building two trucks at once has to keep you on your toes?1967 W200.aka.Hank

Well I received my frame back and it is straight as an arrow. The shop was quicker than expected. It now has to sit outside until I am done with the prep work for painting.
I hope this is the last step before paint. Sprayed 2k surfacer to wet sand down and find any issues that I missed. I can not wait for it to be ready or I say it is good enough.Attached Files

Painting - Rio Maroon
Well after sanding 3 full weeks of 6-9 hr days I said enough is enough. Painted one side of several pieces. I would say I am about 2/5 done. Hope I get an earlier start to finish the remaining sides and parts. Here are some completed sides.
Color of the photos are showing more red than maroon. Must be the operator as I am one tired puppy to get it to this point.

Everything is painted except the inside of the passengers’ door and the top sides of the two hood pieces. Quite pleased with the color and how they look over all with the amount of bodywork that was required from bullet hotels and the 90+ holes I had on the roof.
Looking forward to hiring some muscle from my sons lacrosse team so I can mount the cab.

Speedometer Help/information please
I have been trying to get as much accomplished under the cab before I place it on this week - garage is cramped with the flat bed still waiting for the PW emblem.
Anyway I digress - I went to install my new speedometer cable and can not seem to get it tight enough to prevent (sorry for not know the correct term - but let’s say the bell housing?? that is next the femal threaded end) from moving. First off what do most people use to tighten this on? Second should this bell housing be tight and not wiggle ever so slightly?
I have drawn a line to what I am calling the bell housing?
