Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Yes Alan you did . Other searchs around the internet show lots of guys prefer Gold for the heavier and vertical work and extreme for the finish work and spot putty/Glaze. Summer Heat is not an issue right now , It is way below freezing here tonight . I will wait until warmer days before starting the body work.
I think I will start with the Gold since a lot will end up on the floor. Thanks again Alan

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Hey guys, I had just asked the same questions about a month ago. After I went down to carquest and saw the price of the rage filler for 60 dollars, I instead bought the 3M body filler for 30 dollars. Im no body man plus im not building a show truck, only a weekend cruiser. I have used it a few times so far and seems to spread pretty good with no pinholes. If anyone has had any issues with this filler please let me know, thanks. Thats my .02

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Here's a pic of the guru at work. I knew how to remove paint by sanding it, but apparently Alan prefers the "set a fire to it and remove it method".

It's coming along pretty well, I guess, I'm waiting for the engine to get back from the builder this week so thats more good progress. Remember ONE THING AT A TIME IS PROGRESS. That saying keeps me going...lol.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Now I have a deadline. So to speak.
![]() I'm thinking about squaring these edges off what do y'all think. The more I look at it the more I need to do it. Or am I just being anal? ![]() ![]()

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I think it would look cleaner if it was squared off.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Yeah what Dave said??? Square it off or round it off. Looks like factory the way it is now. Which is good too.

Wiped the front of the fenders and ground the hood. While sanding the fender I noticed I didn't weld all the way around. You'd think as long as I have been doing this it wouldn't happen. Oh well.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I think I have mentioned this earlier. I thought about using a weatherstrip from a late model car trunk for the seal between the inner fender to the firewall. I found one today and tested to see how it looks. I haven't installed on the truck yet. Right now I'm thinking it will be better than factory. What do ya'll think? The only thing I forsee is the inner reinforcement metal will rust.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I think it looks good. Seal it with silicone or something else so the metal won't rust.
