Very nice patches and work! Did you use a repop patch or donor or form all of that?

I used repop parts. BTW thanks!!

Worked the cab corners and welded the main harness hole on the firewall and also a hole in the dash from a PO. Still need some more work on the cab corners.

Question for you Alan, you mentioned you used OMNI epoxy on this one but you prefer the PPG DP line of epoxy. How well has it been working with it while doing the filler on top? Once your done with the filler are you going to recoat with the OMNI epoxy or go straight to slick sand or something else?

Anyway, looking good.

Greg - those powder coated parts look great too!

The Omni seems to be working out just fine. After the filler work I'm using the new product of slick sand, Evercoat "Super Build 4:1". Pic attached of the can.

Pics of the new version of slick sand. I'll report what it's like. It actually comes with a quart of catalyst so you get 5 quarts of material instead of 4 with the old. I also ordered the 3M Platinum filler, it sands good and cheaper than rage extreme. The only problem I have with it is pin holes.

The double walled area where the steering column comes thru the floor had some cancer. I cut it out and will treat what I can.

aggie91 · 05-09-2013, 09:39 AM

Thanks Alan. I am going to try the Omni this weekend on some bed parts. Looking forward to what you think about the new Super Build primer.

Low Elco · 05-09-2013, 03:17 PM

Hmmmm.... Slick sand, G2, and now this? Wonder what kinda cannon you gotta use to get this stuff on?

flips72 · 05-09-2013, 05:12 PM

nice work alan, and thanks for the info,i too am kinda curious about what size tip will be needed to shot this primer or will you thin it,ifso what will you use to thin it with? sorry for all the questions but i put alot of stock in your expertise when it comes to this body stuff.

Bomp · 05-09-2013, 10:59 PM

Awaiting your further information on applying said products.

Cause I'm takin' notes and I needz to Knowz.

Great job Man.

da_bears_da1 · 05-10-2013, 09:05 AM

Funny how this stuff works out. I was just doing some research on Slick Sand last night. It gets very good reviews on other forums. Glad to see Alan is going to try it out for us.

Alan's Classic · 05-10-2013, 05:36 PM

Todays progress, I'll comment on previous post later. I got to run

As I was sanding the Omni epoxy tonight I can't tell the difference between it and PPG DP90. It is very hard to sand. I used 80 grit paper to scuff it up for the Super build.

I'll post my review once I spray it.

Thanks, I'll let you know what happens. It shouldn't be long. I did shake the can by hand. It sound pretty runny. Maybe it is separated I didn't open the can. I hope it's not as runny as it sounds. If so I'll send it back.

I love slick sand, while it is tough to spray. I used it on my build and also 198plus's build. This is the latest and maybe greatest version of it. We'll see.

I've been able to spend some quality time on it Friday and today. I've got a few more filler spots to work, but started scuffing the rest of the cab getting it ready for some Super Build. The fire wall, outside of the back panel and right door jamb is scuffed. I was also able to push some dents out of the dash. It's amazing what you can do with a baseball bat as seen on the cab floor.

greg65 · 05-12-2013, 02:24 PM

Not sure if anyone has told you or not but you do some pretty good work. Lol. The Louisville Slugger is a nice touch. I can't wait to come check out the progress in a couple weeks.

Don't give him the "big head!" He might start upping the prices before I can get mine over there. Alan, that's crappy work. Keep it up!

A bat has a nice round end to push on some metal if you can get to the back side. BTW thanks

Today was a day of rest for me as far as doing work in the shop.

Low Elco · 05-13-2013, 08:47 AM

Ball Bat, ha ha! I have a broken Sledgehammer handle I use for similar purposes. I was using a Stanley spud bar to get behind a quarter and push up a big low this week. High tech, Baby! Whatever git's 'er done!

I usually run SS/G2 with a splash of lacquer thinner to get it moving thru a HF HVLP with a 1.8 tip. "Splash", that's a highly technical paintin' term.

coulter · 05-13-2013, 04:39 PM

some killer looking work on that cab!! keep it up

Thanks guys. Alan is knocking the cab out pretty quick. When you consider working a full time job, doing this at night, and helping at another body shop on Saturdays. Not sure how he does it.

Splash=TLAR which is That Looks About Right.

What's G2, I'm drawing a blank.

Not too mention the kids, HAHA. I actually work at the other shop Tuesday and Wednesday nights. With the end of school and all the award ceremonies and band concerts over. I will be getting more done.
