Quick rust repair for a friend's truck today

12/11/2023

One of the bad things about hiding away from the world to build cars is that you hear news days or weeks too late . Today I learned that a long time friend of mine , Rich Lloyd or critter as he was commonly known died suddenly . I had known Rich for about 35 years . He was a long time body man and I first met him . He was working for Perry Wilson ,when he rebuilt my pick up truck after it was wrecked . Later Rich went to work for John Wargo and he was responsible for doing the finish work and paint on several of my cars over the years .To quote Rich "Duck" Soule , There are no old body men . Rich Loyd died way to young . Guess you never know when your last day is up.

So, Today I am working on a car that's going after The Ridler award . So I can't post any pics. I spent maybe 2 hours getting an area 8 inches x 4 inches finished in lead. And I finally decided to give up . After doing all the body work on the truck in plastic ,You know because race cars don't need 100 extra pounds of lead. I have decided that after 40 plus years of this stupidity. This is the last car I will use lead on. The plastic body fillers have surpassed the quality of lead. So it's time to put the paddles away n embrace a plastic filled life. The cost of lead is 500x that of plastic and the time is 50x that . So I can no longer see the point in using it
