Well.....from buying this truck just to tinker with on the weekends to a full blown, frame off, rebuild. Damn, this body work crap is a lot of work!!!

I now have everything puttied,block sanded, and 3 coats of epoxy primer. I still have a bazillion micro scratches so I guess now it's onto sanding and shooting some high build primer. Body men are worth every friggin dollar, and then a $500 tip!

Here's how I have my shop set up for spraying. I have a tarp in the center of the garage to allow fresh air to be pulled in from one side and around to the other to exhaust out the other.

Fresh air sucked in through the left door and blown out through the right by a fan.

heres the fan drawing air out of the spray zone. I used AC filters to keep the over spray from going out and onto the entire neighborhood.
