Thanks for the good wishes gents!

Got the walnut shell blasting gear today with 50lbs of walnut shell to go with it.

Hopefully the Clear Epoxy top coat gets here before the weekend so I can knock at least this first panel out as a lab experiment.

I think I'll just use a black epoxy primer on the inside of the panels and spray the clear epoxy right over the black primer.

K.I.S.S. method in full effect.

....after I ditched the diesel idea, I really wanted a 09+ 5.7 liter VVTI Tundra drive train in it. I ditched that too based on cost. I have to keep reminding myself that this is a budget build and simplicity is the name of the game.
