Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Well today I got the bed all bolted/welded on. About as soon as I was done with that my wife, who had been rafting on the river with her friend, called me and said one of their cars needed a jump... So I had to boogie out and do that. The bright side is it was a great day for a nice little cruise in the burb down to the river. So good and bad I guess. Tomorrow I should be able to get the new bedside sanded and start pulling the dents and fixing it up. Considering taking Monday off work (since I'm working both days this weekend...) to get my garage converted into a paint both. If all goes well I'll lay some primer by next weekend. Wish me luck!

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Well I didn't get much done last week. Doc appointment Wednesday, helping the wife prepare for our weekend trip to the beach Thursday, left for the beach Friday after work, then Saturday and Sunday at the beach. Finally got back to it today. I think by the end of tomorrow everything forward of the bed should be prime ready. Then I'm going to start working on finishing off the bed. Going out of town again this weekend to camp and ride the quads at the dunes. So my fingers are crossed to have the whole truck ready for primer by the end of next week. Primer next weekend? Maybe. We'll see.

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Patch work is all done on the bed. I wish it would have came out better but it's ok for my first go at it. It will look fine and last forever with a little filler on it! Other than that it's looking like next week some time I'll be priming. I'm down to just finding little stuff to do and walking around it trying to find more pre prime stuff that needs done. Fingers crossed that by the end of the weekend (I'm also working both days this weekend...) it will be totally prime ready. Basically all I need to do is push it back outside, wash it real good, and then go over the whole thing again with 80 grit on the da. After that I still just need to plastic off the garage to form a spray booth and pick up a bunch of lights.

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
A little progress today. Started masking and then ran out of my good tape... I'll get more tomorrow. Then I started hanging plastic and re arranged how I had my doors hanging so I could paint both sides. Still hoping for primer this week but we'll see.

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
if you've got good sheet metal without bondo, i would swap over. it's easy to do the jambs when painting.

Re: 1977 Silverado Crew Cab.
Yea I'm thinking new door.
Going to be spending a small chunk of change today and again next pay day. Today I'll be ordering; Gallon of epoxy with a gallon of activator, Solvent based wax and grease remover, Waterborne wax and grease remover, Gallon of Rage gold filler, Gallon of duraglass filler, Still trying to track down a bedside. Also need to buy some lights so I have proper lighting in the garage as well as some misc stuff like plastic, masking tape, respirator, tack rags, etc. I'm now figuring I'll have between $1200-$1500 into this paint job with all the misc stuff included like stripping discs and so on. But I am using better materials than I probably really need to.
