Square One.

 So is today's post title referring to me, or where I'm at on this project? Both really. Though I feel more like a looser than a L-7 (square). By the way I am aware that "loser" is mispelt. Insyde joke.
 After getting different advice from 3 sources, my self confidence dropped immensely. So after a check of what my "end-goal" is I decided to sand to mostly bare metal again. This is what I ended with.

Not sure why the first pic is scrunched.

In the above photo's you note where the tank had been primer-ed before. This also indicates where the low spots in the tank are. I learned that I should really be using a sanding block. If anyone's reading this your probably telling me "Duh George!" All I can respond to that is... "Which way'd he go George, which way he go!" Another good piece of advice was to do a skim coat of Bondo to rid any of those spots. So I did. If you noted, before those pix I also finally filled the tank badge fiasco. I'm stepping up my program to try to have the "GiN" road worthy again within a week. For now back to he man-cave to sand and hopefully prime by tonight. Then I'll hammer on that tail piece and try to prep for paint.
