Re: Cgt project
Don't get me wrong, I hate body work. I do it out of necessity. I'm pretty picky detailed kind of guy and can't afford to pay someone to do it.

Re: Cgt project
I imagine for a daily, as long as moisture can drain out the bottom, it should be fine.

Re: Cgt project
I've talked to a couple buddies that are body men and they say the proper way would be weld up the seam then fill. They also said it would likely be fine just filling since I have sealed the inside of the doors with paint.
Its funny how different locations do stuff. I have purchased several vehicles from down south and have come across repairs where they drilled holes to pull out a dent and then smeared bondo into the holes, and called it done. Up here we get a lot of rain and if someone repairs it that way, the paint bubbles quick. |

Re: Cgt project
Well, I'm doing it. I am using a fiberglass body filler as it is stronger.

Re: Cgt project
Looks good. I did the same thing years ago with my '65 that was my daily. It lasted for a long time. Longer than the truck did before someone vandalized it. I let the truck sit for about 5-6 years before reworking it and the jambs still looked really good.

Re: Cgt project
This has been my Covid isolation for the past 4 months. Nice to have some colour on it. I plan to let all the parts bake in the sun until September then reshoot it.

Re: Cgt project
I am in the middle of final paint and just sprayed my side trim stripes a contrast colour. I just masked in the center of the trim holes. In reflection was this a mistake? Was thinking will the stripes lineup at the cab corner to door? Does it really matter as the trim cover most of the paint lines? I had checked my trim alignment on mockup to make sure they were straight. How does everyone else do it?

Re: Cgt project
Man what an awesome build! Always thought a GT built C10 would be super cool. Can't wait to see what you do with the interior.

Re: Cgt project
That is one beautiful truck. I'm a huge blue lover and my last 3 vehicles were blue. I decided to get away from blue on my build and you have not helped my decision. LOL I guess I'll stick with my decision and change but as I'm following your build...ow, it hurts so good.
