Body work.....She's getting there

[Thotsmasher]

Got at it a little bit this weekend, waiting on more primer , herculiner and gun so I can wrap up the passenger side ..

Nice.

If you're using bondo on your rockers over rust, it will come back in short time. Best is to replace them. I'm planning on doing mine and not too distant future.

It's all new steel  inner ,outer rockers and cab corners all raybuck. No rust left on my truck doors are from a 90k original owner truck. Any body work whether 20k paint job to a maco paint job has skin coat to get it strait . I'm blocking the whole truck down I want it strait as a arrow sir..lol. kinda wish I would of paid more attention at my dads body shop when I was a kid .  Thank you very much gentlemen its alot of freaking work .

Door is edged out..my 1st time spraying. Looks ok to me just wished I could of had some time with the gun before I painted my stuff lol. Like the new tri axle box we got would of gave me a lil better understanding.  ?‍♂️ o well. I'm leaving the whole truck to the pros anyway .

Looks good! Hey they only way you are going to learn is to jump in and do it. Prep, prep, prep, is the key to good body work.

I get the door on the  passenger side is complete besides the final bc/cc job. I'm gonna leave the outside for the professionals tho. Lol inner and outer rockers were a mudder trucker.

I just want to get her back on the road for the summer. Then this winter I'm gonna get interior work. I have all the black or dark slate plastics too put in and change out, then black leather with black suade .Just need a good dash now. If I cant find one I have a nice 3rd gen dash to throw in it.

Passengers side is 90% done . Did the herculiner on rockers and a lighter coat on inside of doors . Inside of fender for further protection, yes the plastic liner is going back in .The whole bottom of truck is getting zebart after it's done. 

Finally started on driver side yesterday.  Been real busy and lazy. 

This stuff is like talking to your ex gotta work yourself up to want to do it...lol. 

But it's getting there 

 

[gipperkid]

Are you going to put the body color over that rhino liner stuff or just leave it as is?

[Bullet]

I can tell that's alot of work...and I completely understand the ex comment.  Your username cracks me up...I just noticed it.  I live by the pump and dump philosophy myself...life is good!
