Re: Separateing Bed Panels for Paint BACK SIDE?

The two that were posted are quite different the other one is talking about taking the bedside off of the truck. Mine is concerning splitting the bedside into two pieces, that is what i gathered you were wanting to know more about. So witch one is it? Also in my post did I mention that there are over 100 spot welds that have to be cut out? That is where the step drill bit comes into play after using the 1/8 inch one take the step bit drill out and count either 5 or 6 notches[you will feel each one] then the spot weld will be gone if you were dead center on the drilling.
Now I didn't answer about the seem sealer, it goes on after the primer before paint. Glove up when you apply it then have a cup of water or lacquer thinner on hand to dip a finger in then use that to shape the sealer IF it doesn't look right right out of the tube. A wet finger can make the sealer look like it was tooled in.
Also the extra wide strip of weld through is for the heat when it walks outward from the mating surfaces as you weld your panel back together. I hope that clears up my post if not let me know and I'll try to simplify. Jim
