Skidmore '67 C20

[SkidmoreGarage]

Not a lot has been going on with the truck with the arrival of a baby girl!

Not much time to work on the truck but I had a chance to finish up the passenger outer rocker, toe kick, and footwell/firewall area before she was born.

I'll just do a photo dump, the usual metalwork-grind-body filler- sand-seam sealer- prime-sand- repeat, and finally paint. The interesting things to see are that I shaved the lower rocker seam to keep it smooth from the bottom of the bed to the front fender and the removal of the seam at the back of the door. I think these small mods add to the original design, and most people wouldn't notice them.

Feel free to leave any questions. Here are the products I used:

Evercoat long and short strand body filler
3M body filler (may try lightweight next time)
SEM two part seam sealers (buy the special two-part gun on Amazon, it's worth it)
PPG Delfleet epoxy primer
U-pol high build primer (wouldn't buy again)
Epoxy primer again
PPG Delfleet ESSS single stage color matched to light green.
PPG ALK200 gloss black for the firewall/cowl, I bought full gloss by accident for the chassis, but I kind of like it. It is easy to clean up, and it gives some depth while being much darker than a satin- which can be a bit "gray".
