Thanks Jason, the cab and doors are my main focus from here on out. I want to try to get them painted and done before the winter.

Thanks Mike, the cab isn't as bad as I make it out to be. It's not going to get done on its own so I need to stop complaining and get at it

knomadd · 08-08-2014, 10:08 AM

Good luck Keith. I'm sure you'll do fine.

Thanks Duane, worked on the doors this weekend. I spent all weekend sanding and smoothing them out and finally was able to spray some epoxy today. They still need work but I wanted to get them in epoxy before doing the finish bodywork on them. I don't need them rusting on me again like last time.

I initially body worked them almost two years ago and then they sat around for about 6 months after Hurricane Sandy hit as I was fixing my parents house. During that time they started to rust on all the areas left in bare metal. I had to remove the surface rust and part of the filler in areas which sucked because it was months of work down the drain. So I just sprayed some spray bomb etching primer on them and didn't look at them again until this weekend when I decided to sand the spray bomb primer off and smooth out some of the filler left behind. I had a couple of areas of surface rust to deal with again so I removed that and sprayed my epoxy. They turned out good but like I said, still need some work.

Thanks Tom, my father is finally feeling up to coming over and helping me out with it a little which is good cause I suck at bodywork and he is really good at it. I feel like when I mix up filler I waste more then I can get on the panel

seems to never go right

It will be finished before you know it...

I can't wait to see the truck blocked and all one color, it's the culmination of all your hard work and perseverance.
