Thanks Alex ! This has been a fun project. Mark (The owner) Has a good eye for detail and made it fun to work for. He is a good mechanic by trade and will be a bitchen car when finished. Kind of cool, even that the car has been on the back burner for 7-8 years, We still throw idea's back and forth to each other on the finishing touch's on car. Will be a well thought out car !!

Thanks, Poor thing has been setting for about 7-8 years, Got a bit of surface rust on the whole car. My helper and I have been cleaning with metal prep and I may have the body lightly walnut shell blasted again, to get ready for first prime. |

Truly amazing quality of metalwork!
How long vixen file do you like to use in car bodyworks and finishing, and what cut types? I would like to try those in my own project and get a hold on the technique.

Thanks guy's ! As far as file's go, I use the most teeth per inch as you can. Less chance of chatter'n and leave'n deep scratch's. I only really use a file for reading the flat surface. And only when your metal finishing is super close. Here are a few file's I use.
