Self leveling seam sealer gives me the warm and fuzzy's You know it just seeps into cracks that traditional seam sealers couldn't do. Looks great man!

It is kind of enjoyable to apply and see. I used a single component at the vertical sections and that created a dam to keep the self leveling from running down too much. It did run all the way down the passenger side and kept creeping out the bottom, but I think it stopped after I put epoxy down.

I finally got a chance to check out your project. It's looking good for sure and I am excited to see the blue on it. You planning to two-tone it or stick with the single color?

Kudos for having the guts to tackle the harness.

It'll be solid blue. I'm just hoping it starts and runs and I will honestly be a little surprised if it does, considering that I touched every single wire on the harness and had every single pin removed and repinned from the PCM connectors at one point. Almost every wire was either lengthened or shortened too. This was back when I had freetime in the evenings to tinker with such a task. But if it becomes a total failure, I can always buy one from BP or PSI.

I wasn't happy with the way the panels looked after I shot one coat of epoxy on them so after getting some advice from the guys on the SPI forum, I sprayed two more coats of epoxy and everything looks great now. More of the scratches are filled and there is no more mapping of the filler. I can't recommend SPI enough, their products are great, pricing is very reasonable, and they have unmatched technical support. I was afraid of epoxy after using it once because I didn't know how to spray it without getting craters, but I don't get so much anymore. What's great about this epoxy is that it has a 7 day recoat window, meaning you can apply filler or more epoxy over it within 7 days of spraying without having to sand first.

I'm actually a little surprised at how straight everything looks and don't think I'll do any blocking. I just need to take care of some cratering and scratches and should be able to seal and base/clear next weekend!

Have you blocked the truck out at all besides filler?

Yeah man, looking good. I'm bout to finish my can here pretty soon and I'm trying to figure out how to turn my epoxy into a thin sealer. I thought the sealer was the easiest thing to spray IMO. But I may have just got lucky. Keep it up man looking forward to some color!
