Re: 71 4X4 Frame off Restoration

My painter Anthony has started working on my truck. That's the good news. The bad news is he found rust in the bed sides and BONDO 3/4" think. So I decided to buy 2 new bed sides and remove the one I have. This will set me back weeks work and $2,200.00 in parts and labor. The cab had a small are above the passenger door in the rain gutter area that rust was found. The primer blew off with air gun after sanding due to the rust. The cab required a lot of blocking and reworking some areas to get it read to paint. some pictures of the rust found, right, left cab sides and roof. This is a learning curve for me I wish I had met Anthony when the body work started. Having someone do the metal work and body work. Then different guy finish and paint is costing me a lot of money. At least the issues are found now instead of later after painting.
