Re: Project OverKill
Thanks again guys. I have to say I have nothing but the utmost in respect for anyone who does filler/primer/sanding and all the paint prep work. I will get it flat and smooth, but man o man is takes alot of work and patience.
Alex

Re: Project OverKill
It gets easier as you go. There are different methods, I just tried different ones until I found the best that worked for me. Looks good from here!

Re: Project OverKill
Oh how I love the smell of bondo in the morning!
Though it is rewarding to know how to do it and admire the finished product, body work sucks and it doesn't get easier! Looks like you're doing a good job!

Re: Project OverKill
Black always looks great as long as it is clean! That is the short time between setting the hose down and picking up the lint free towel
 Stay with the two tone orange and white! Kevin LFD Inc. PS. the fire wall turned out great! |

Re: Project OverKill
OK...SPI Orange and White, done deal...decision made. Spent a lil' time today with Mr. Miller talking about the price of gas....He said "Weld the hole shut"....so I done it! And seeing how I was standing right there and there was a few pin holes showing some rust....ahhhh... well, you get the picture.
New Rock-a-Fellas! Gonna seal them all up so nothing can get into the inside. The originals are all full of dirt.

Re: Project OverKill
Drivers side outer rocker is now off. I decided that I will weld in new cab corners while I am at it. There is torn metal in the lower back of the cab corners...easier to just weld on a new set.

Re: Project OverKill
Not telling you what to do or how to do it. But I would re-install the doors and check the gaps prior to welding in the rockers.

Hey...I don't mind a GOOD tip from anyone, fact is I appreciate it!!! Great Idea!!! I will FOR SURE put the doors back on for fitment!!! This is the kind of stuff my painter DIDN'T do when he was painting my 71'! I'll weld in the new cab corners first...then hang the doors and then install the rockers.

Re: Project OverKill
Another trick (this came from someone on this board, but I can't rember who), after you have your doors lined up, drill 2 3/16 " holes in your hinges to use as reference marks when you re-install the doors and hinges.
