Re: Project 78 High Sierra
Well i wanted to do four patches today...Both fenders and the cab corners....I failed......My flange and punch tool died and i only completed the one fender which was paint cuz i couldnt fully flange or punch it...So i used pliers and made do......Spot welding didnt happen much but with some grinding and finding bondo i got it done....So now it just needs some bondo to smooth it out and fix a few lil holes/gaps
SAFETY FIRST!! LOL

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
They are hooked up and sound amazing! Only prob is it does get in the way of the e brake.....But that also could be because mine are bowed out ever so slightly on the bottom due to some welds

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
After soap and water, drying, and hitting it will alcohol I hit it with 4 coats of Eastwood Self Etching black primer......Has a few spots Ill need to hit with a small bit of bondo and then i can get a lil sanding in before I hit it will some more sandable primer....
Notice all the paint dust on my house? This thing had 2 - 3 different coats of paint on it...sheesh.....The under side will just be rust repair and nothing special

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
Took a wire wheel to the rusty part of the underside....It created some holes that im probably going to gill with bondo just to keep it smooth and strong as the area is way to thin to just patch weld..... Either way I hit it with some Krylon Rust Tough afterwards.....

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
Ok used my new Paint removal disc (http://www.roarksupply.com/product-p/4.5cleanstrip.htm) i stripped down the fender...found a few small holes that where bondo over and got it to bare metal....
Pounded out a bit of a dent and then cleaned it up. Hit it with 2 coats of self etching primer before I ran out. Then I hit it with 2 coats of sandable primer... Now that its flat black I can see all the divits and low spots so ill do a lil bondo to smooth it out and prime it some more CAN SOMEONE TELL ME IF THE EMBLEM TAKE 1 or 2 HOLES??? There are 2 normal holes but one was bondo over and im not sure if i need it for the emblem Thanks

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
Yes you need both holes. Should be about eight inches apart or so.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
Well driving to work a saw a square that is setup the way I plan mine to look in the end...The only difference is the white will be black on mine...
Not a bad looking truck except once up close you can tell how bad of a paint job dude did...Its was a bit cloudy so you can tell he did a bad rattle can job...Either way...

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
I have alot of respect for you northern guys that are repairing the rust yall have to deal with, I swapped my cab 3 times until I got one that only needs cab corners, and im still complaining
 That paint job should look pretty interesting, I've never seen that before.
