Yeah, its through in one side... The other side of the situation is, the paint has moisture under it because it wasnt done right. I got the truck from Cali and it was smooth when I get it. I wanted a rust free base to start with.... now almost 2 years later, the top of the fenders and front of the hood are showing signs of water under the paint. It needs to be stripped, neutralize, epoxy primered then, do the body work and seal it... Shops here all have bad reputations and I dont have those skills. I may start to look at shops in Oahu and ship it up there to get'r done right.
