Kay, so plan as of now is to mask the grill/fenders like Cloud 9 and also the tailgate letters. I bet the Boy can do it better than I can, until I get some glasses anyway!
I still haven't bought the paint. I'm sitting on a small pot of dough that would prolly get me that, but I'm not sure I'm ready just yet. I'm still going to touch the seam sealer on the cab and there's some small spots that still need a bit more finish on there. Doors are good I think but I still gotta epoxy those, seam seal and block.
I pulled out a fender today and got some work done. I have a great appreciation for all them metal workers like Bomp! I replaced the whole driver's rocker and fabbed a few inches of drip rail already but this is the worst spot on the truck
.
straight-edged a cut-out
traced the contour of the cut-out piece onto the table
mashed the cut-out piece flat then traced it onto an old door skin
used my trusty jig-saw with a metal blade to cut it out
hammered the patch to match the contour I had traced onto the table
ZAP-ZAP-ZAP-ZAP-ZAP-ZAP
grind, grind, flap, flap
Whole lotta phukin around for a little patch! Can't imagine chopping a couple rotten cabs in half and trying to join them back together five inches apart!
I'm moving forward and WILL FINISH!
