Yesterday I spent about 3 hours working on the Triumph-most of the time spent "in the zone". My main focus was the hood. I had previously primed it (back in the summer) and sanded to a 180 grit finding a number of imperfections that needed to be addressed. There were a number of small convex dents verses concave that required some hammer and file work plus on area with a fairly large dent (probably from someone sitting on the hood) that required a fair amount of sheet metal massaging to straighten out. A small amount of skim filler was required to fill in the indentation after the hammer work was completed. After going over all the problem areas I cleaned up the hood with wax and grease remover and primed it with primer sealer which turned out very smooth-I am happy with the results.
I also turned my attention to the front valance which had been previous "hi-filler primed". I sanded it down to a 180 grit, cleaned it and applied sealer primer to it. Unfortunately upon inspection last night I noticed a couple of small paint runs that I will need to address today. The body work looks good on first inspection ( a huge improvement of the original state).
Overall a satisfying "work session"
