Re: Project 69SWB

Great looking project, you are doing great! Gotta love the craptermarket steel If I had hair I would have pulled mine out last year. I still have to do my passenger side and found out about Tabco a little too late. I will be trying their parts on the passenger side. I have heard nothing but good about them.

and then just scuff it up.. I won't ever get that chemical bond between the two.. or is that not correct?
Sounds like you read the directions, this is the exact same conclusion I came to on mine and I have a gallon of epoxy in the closet until I am ready to strip and spray the entire cab, then put a layer of high fill over the epoxy. Also I have left several sections of my cab and body in bare blasted steel for nearly a year and it has yet to rust. Just dont rub your sweaty hands all over it

I am well aware of most people leaving their sheet metal in epoxy for months/years and not having adhesion issues but I also hear it is a huge pain to sand/scuff epoxy. Keep up the good work!
