Very nice Jan. I like the old hooks in the garage door frame trick.

Wow! Those reflections in that panel are arrow straight. That takes a ton of time (and talent) to do that well.

Awesome work!

Wow, that's just primer so far? What was your choice? I'm still deciding on a good glossy primer so I can see the reflections before shooting color.

Using SPI epoxy primer and 2k surfacer.



Marc, I’m hoping that’s the case. It’s all in the prep right?

Very nice....there are NO shortcuts to a great paint job. I don't think most people realize the amount of labor/skill involved.

Nice job

Marc

Your Body-Work looks 1st class (from an ol' bodyman's point of

again , Great job . . . . I'm watching & learning (more) .

Re: Jans 53
So now I have all 4 fenders the cab and hood sanded. I will go over them and look for small flaws then on to bedsides. Tomorrow morning going to take a trip to summit and pick up a tailgate, front bed panel and maybe a new grill.
Has anyone seen the goodmark tailgate? the price difference isn’t much between it and the mar-k but they don’t have the mar-k in stock....is it worth paying shipping and waiting for the mar-k? Also anyone have the OER grill? Any info on quality?

Now I’ll leave you with today’s picture of my OCD session.
