Triumph TR3-Left Rear Fender Work

Yesterday I spent about a 1/2 hour in the garage working on aligning the rear left fender for the final skim coat of filler and primer. Everything seems to be in order and think the fender will look good when I get finished today. I also spent some time installing the snow tires on my wife's Honda-not TR3 work but automotive in nature. I experienced some frustration when I realized that both of my tire pressure gauges have become inoperable. (it looks like it doesn't pay to buy cheap gauges) which translated into an expected trip to the tire store to top up the tire pressures before my wife took off on a trip-all this kind of threw off my garage time yesterday....

Today I plan to finish off the rear fender (filler and sanding), one more skim coat of filler on the front right fender (after some minor dent repairs-I found an area that I missed on my original inspection that needs some work) plus a cleaning up and sanding of the front fender rails (that run down the seam of the hood where the fenders attach to the inner fenders). Neither front fender has this area cleaned up and primed. A "must do" task.

Hopefully today will be productive although at this moment I am not feeling too energetic and/or motivated? I am sure once I get out in the garage and turn on the "tunes" things will move on as they should...More to follow
