Re: 1972 4x4 Short Bed Project "Seven-Deuce"

Keeping it going here....

The cab is now 100% rust free!! All metal work on the front half of the truck is done. Just a few small spots on the bed, and that will be it. I dont have any pictures of the rust repair we did on the drivers side, but the upper drivers door jamb and fuel filler are all fixed and welded in.
Today we worked on coating the underside of the cab. My uncle is an authorized dealer/installer for scorpion truck bed linings, so thats who I went with. A few friends have it in their truck beds and i think it holds up really well. So we scraped and de-greased the bottom of the cab, shot it with some etch, and then the spray on liner. Came out really good, i think, and we continued it all the way up to the top of the firewall. Here are a few pics, i will get a few more of the finished product.

Stripped and ready for etching primer



Primed



In the process... ( Look at the size of the hopper on that gun! Crazy...)



All done. It's actually dry in this picture
