Re: Project 78 High Sierra
Finished the plywood and caulked a bunch of gaps...Still need to caulk the top against the roof. Also need to sand the excess off as it looks like i went nuts lol
Will be putting some felt on the walls thanks to the advise of RUSbuilt

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
looks good and solid,use lots of screws
plywoods better idea ,the particle board dosn't hold up heard of peoples older garage walls/siding pulled away, gained access breaking the particle board, even right beside the door,and reaching around to unlock

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
Well i smoothed the caulk and started painting.. Behr Premium Plus Exterior color matched to my vinyl siding...
Got it all done and luckily it dried since some rouge storm hit out of no where!! UGH!!!!!!! But its done and it didnt wash off... I have some fixing to do as I just figured out the supports are actually water channels as well... So the outside wall leaks onto the top of the wall. I have some silicon to put in the channel on the top of the screws and some spray foam to go into the small gap just about the top of the wall

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
Starting to come along. Your jambs/inner doors look good.
When do you start the outside?

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
I'll consider it a donation to your build. I don't even have a truck this year but the tailgate was so sweet I didn;t want them to crush it. It has GMC on the left or right in the middle or indention part of the gate. I tried to sell it a while back but nobody wanted it so I put it in the shed. I'll see if I can find a pic.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
just to let you know the small gmc insert will not fit in that tail gate you will have to use the lager one and the hard wear for the tail gate is diffrent you will have to find 81-87 henges on your 78 bed but it will fit
