Hey, he drives a white 88-98. Must be a decent guy.

Edit: Wait, I guess just the bed is white...is that bad if your body guy's truck is two different colors?

FRENCHBLUE72 · 04-23-2011, 07:31 PM

Hopefully paint prison don't last long what did the guy give as a time to be done?

He wouldn't say, should I be scared?????

I told him I would give him 2 weeks or else I come get it back.

With all the priming and blocking still to do on the outside,... Do you wish you would have waited to paint the interior after the outside was ready?
Better hope the new guy is good about masking everything off.

i thought this was a daily driver! just put it together already and get to towin' that boat! LOL, JK!

my4by2 · 04-24-2011, 08:48 AM

Understand the pain of the process man.... When my project got started I thought I might even get away without a paint job on it! Needless to say it's going to very qualified shop now & it's gonna take quite a bit of time & money to get it right. There's a point you sometimes go past in a project where it's just pointless not to go all the way with it. I hope yours turns out ho you're hoping & look forward to seeing the pics!

I have had enough pain with raw or semi raw metal and surface rust starting. I sure don't want to send it out that way.

Happy Easter everyone. Take time to thank God for providing a way for us to live eternally with him in heaven and recommit your belief in Jesus.

Don't quote me on this, but I think I have found the last of the dents in these 3 panels and will be able to prime, block, and seal soon.

70LonghornCST · 04-24-2011, 08:40 PM

Drew,
What brand of filler are you using?

propanemudtruck · 04-24-2011, 08:40 PM

You know, I thought this was a straight original panel suburban to begin with... hard to imagine this leaving the factory 40 something years ago with all those imperfections...

my4by2 · 04-24-2011, 08:40 PM

Can't wait until my truck makes it to this phase!!! Can't wait to see it all sealed & primed!!!

I can't imagine this thing having imperfections like this too??? Must have been late Friday afternoon build on the assembly line. I am considering asking for my money back.

Seriously though, at the car show I was looking at all the tailgates and it seems most people end up filling all the vertical spot welds on the gate sides. I had noticed them on mine in primer, but hadn't remembered them on finished trucks. Looks like one more thing to work on to get perfect.

Evercoat and a 3M glazing putty.

these trucks were FAR from perfect from the factory. I had a 72 blazer with original paint on the rear and no dents but it was wavy as could be. Also if you look at any 100% resto's they will show the spot welds in the gate, etc as these trucks were meant to be driven and USED not just for show...
