Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!

Once that I had stored everything away that wasn't immediately needed, my first plan of action was to work on the cab & doors first.
Upon some closer inspection, I discovered that even though everything had been soda-blasted, nothing had been etched or sanded prior to priming.
You could literally take an air hose & blow the primer off! So now everything is getting sanded to bare metal, dings & dents fixed, then primed with Dupont Corlar epoxy primer.
The roof of the cab must have taken a good hit from what could have been a ladder...Two sets of marks running through the roof on an angle.
The ridge across the top got hit pretty good, and has consumed a great deal of my attention. What a PITA to fix, but I think I got it!
I pulled as much of the dents out with my buddy's Nail-Gun (thats what I call it) What a great tool!
Got a pic while pulling dents!
