Re: 1st Timer 72 Slow Build

Wow I really need to put some new pictures up, its been a while since I have updated them. Not that my pickup is much different.

If the weather holds out tomorrow I will wash and start polishing the oxidized paint off the truck.

Today I scraped all the old sealant out of the roof drip rails, and added new sealant. I thought it would take alot longer but it actually went quite quickly, a phillips screwdriver worked the best.

I can see from all the layers of metal that come together there why it must take alot of work to shave the drip rails. I tried my best to get it somewhat smooth and even, but its a little hard to do with your finger. The old stuff was starting to deteriorate so I thought I would just redo it quick to keep it sealed and rust from starting. Its not permanent but will work until I have the truck painted in 5 years.
