Re: Project: 72C10 "Clear Blue Sky"
Thanks wicky, It took longer than I planned once I started to sand them and make it smooth, but it was worth it in the end!

Nice project! Have to hand it to you on the rust repair. That was impressive to say the least. I'm gonna subscribe too.

Re: Project: 72C10 "Clear Blue Sky"
Got the bed ready for more primer for more sanding and sanding, a bunch or work and ya cant see any changes..LOL just tired hands and dust every where. I had to replace the pax bedside with a aftermarket piece, it was just too beat up after I started to remove the various paint colors. Its starting to look pretty good.

What did I have to lose..LOL I just started to cut and weld in new pieces, one at a time. But it was a bunch of time to make it right. My original plan was to use all the orginal sheetmetal on the truck... ![]()

Re: Project: 72C10 "Clear Blue Sky"
Found some pics of the bed before taking it down to metal...it was not good, not good!! It had 1/2" of bondo on the entire pax side, it was crazy! Driver side was in good condition.

Re: Project: 72C10 "Clear Blue Sky"
Thanks, I have more pics. Trying to download them.
I am using BC/CC. I am using shopline base and Deltron clear. It seems to cover well, from what I can tell so far. The deltron clear sprays & flows out nice.
