Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
Yep, I complain but I can't stand just sittin' in the house so it nice to have stuff to do. Hopefully I have time this weekend to finish stripping the bedsides and get them in epoxy primer.

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
Made some good progress today. Finished taking the bedsides down to metal and started stripping the doors. I found a small amount of filler in the doors but nothing at all major. Epoxy primed all that I got stripped bare. I got a few runs here and there with the cheap-O gun I bought for primer. It just won't adjust right. Of course the 2.0 tip doesn't help either, lol..... Too much flow.... The tip I saw on here to put plastic wrap over the stripper worked great. The stuff cut way better than last week. I still used a stripping wheel on a drill to finish it up. Anyway, heres some pics.

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
I'm gettin' close to shooting the epoxy on the doors and tailgate. All I have left is clean up and stripping the rest of the doors.

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
As long as it doesn't rain I should have my tailgate, doors, hinges, etc. all in primer in the morning. I took an old swing, ran a piece of pipe across the top and hung chain off of it. It should be perfect to hang everything off of and shoot at one time. I also have a set of 3rd row seats coming from Frizzle Fry. They match my fronts perfect. I was going to get a set of neoprene seat covers but I might just run them stock for awhile.....
