Thumbs up Re: It ain't over till it's over.

WOW, it's been toooo long since I've been on here. Really impressed with the work you guys have done to this truck. It just goes to show that a little ingenuity and imagination can do just as much, if not more than tons of cash. Very very impressive.

Yep, still in Montgomery. Seems like fate wants me here. Holler if you're ever passing through and have time to meet up.

I would but it looks stupid without them,we are going to get another bumper, since that one has a lot of dents in it, and just doesn't look right trying to repair it without rechroming, and before I rechrome one, I'll get a new one. Been looking at a 57 Chevy bumper to modify

sanded it down to bare metal then some 3M Automix Panel Bonding Adhesivein in the cab Seems its for bonding steel or aluminum body panels Long work time, but cures on demand with heat application Eliminates corrosion caused by welding (work flat as possible recommend this on all shaving, door handles,ect.. works better than welding)
then skim coat of bondo never no more then 1/4 in thick may result in cracking if to thick then primer

The only problem is that this panel glue absorbs paint to prevent this i over sanded then apply a thin layer body filler

Sounds simple enough, would a local paint supply place have that automix?

Re: It ain't over till it's over.

Give me more detail on what you did to the front bumper please! Looks like you welded the brackets in, but did you bolt them up first and then grind off the bolt heads on the front? What'd you use to get rid of the chrome on it, just grind it off?

Looks good from what I see!

Re: It ain't over till it's over.

believe it or not i have one of those with a complete set of dolly hammers for bodywork. just not here. they're in storage. too far to drive just to pick up a couple of tools and don't really have the room for anything else here. we have to squeeze sideways to get down the hallway to the bedrooms. our compressor is set up there wired straight to fusebox. shh. don't tell anyone. lol
