I got both quarters welded on last Saturday, I've spent the morning grinding welds and have now started laying the mud. For those who may be interested I use evercoat z grip bodyfiller.

Looking good. Have you every used Rage Ultra filler? What about SPI primers? I know the SPI satin black epoxy I got is UV stable and can be used by itself as a chassis paint. No need to top coat.

I was getting ready to start sanding mud but as I was putting a fresh piece of paper on my board sander I lost my grip and it fell onto the cement, can't really sand anything with it now and I'm out about $150.

Is it broke?
if your board is bent, take it off and straighten it or get a new takeoff from ebay for $18.00 or so.
Them cheap harbor fright ones are ok, unless you are using it in a body shop situation.

I just bought a new sander, my old one was on its 3rd board and was starting to get a little tired. Yesterday I move the car onto the lift so I can start cutting and patching the underside, the inner rockers need some repair as well as the trunk pan.

Tim,
I had a 55 Crown Vic for about 30 years. At the time I did not have the tools or experience to do the body work justice. Your doing a great job.
Regards,
Chris

Working on the crown vic today and wanted to share this pic, if you watched my video on bodywork you heard me talk about guide coat and this pic does a really good job of showing how well it works. This car was blasted and then coated with really thick epoxy primer, its so thick I can block sand it without sanding through. I guide coated the door before I started sanding and as you can see it showed me every imperfection.

Guide coat is king. Not that I have any experience with it but just seeing some friends using it, makes sense.
Now a question for the master body technician. Do you use seem sealer where you attached the patch panel on the quarter? Do you use a lap joint to attach the panel before welding? Just curios I suppose.

the patch panel had a step to it so it could slip behind the factory panel, once it was welded solid i just ground the weld down and started the bodywork.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
