Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
Silicon bronze filler wire helps but it is not fool proof. It still takes a fair amount of hammer, dolly and a shrinking disk to get them some what straight.

Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
I built a cart for the cab and I made it so it will roll over my motorcycle lift to save my back! I also made removable arms for it so I can flip it on its back for all the work on the bottom side.

Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
I ordered some GMT400 cab lights and drilled some holes. I will be using rubber well nuts to hold them on.

Patched a antenna hole in the roof and the clutch master cylinder hole in the firewall.

Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
My OCD kicked in and i had to redo the passenger side cab corner. I replaced the cab corners in the fall when the cab was still on the frame and the drivers side fit like a glove. But the passenger side it was almost like the cab corner was too wide so I just re bent the edge where it meets the door frame. I wasn't happy with it because the edge i bent didn't have the same radius and was going to need filler. So what the hell $20.00 and a weekend of work!
I first cut the new patch to size and measured how much needed to come off. I then cut about 1 /4" off it and welded it back together and metal finished it.

Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
I then blasted and epoxied the inside of the cab corner and inner cab corner.

Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
The only thing left is to weld it on and metal finish the welds. It turned out great but what a pain in the butt.

Good progress. It looks like the raptor liner layer out nicely.

Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
Yea it did. Thanks. I am afraid that progress is going to slow down. I got a ton of spring cores around the house to get done.

Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
I did get all the body work on the cab done and into 2k primer. Like everything on this truck way more small dents than anticipated. It appeared someone sat on the roof at some point!

Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
I also ordered my clear coat and base. It took me forever to decide what SPI clear coat to go with but I finally settled on the Euro over the universal. This is what $1,200 looks like and I’m not sure if it will be enough for the whole truck!

Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
Awesome work, just joining the build!
This K20 is going to be too nice to drive when you're done! I'm a big fan of Raptor Liner, I've been using it for about 10 years.

Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
I tested out the base and clear on the glove box door, ash tray, lower column cover, door have hinges, tailgate hardware and bolts. Everything turned out great. Now it’s time for some bigger pieces.

Re: Budget Build 1985 K20
3 coats of 029 midnight blue base and 4 coats of euro clear. Turned out really nice. A little bit of dust nibs in the clear that I will need to sand out and just a touch of orange peel. I think a quick buff and onto the doors!
