More progress today on the truck. The pictures really don't look a whole lot different but I have completed a ton of sanding today as well as a second coat where ever nessaccary. Most of my second coat is sanded as well so I will be below the trim pins next chance I have to get out there. My finger tips are almost bleeding and most of my fingerprints are gone. Now would be there perfect time to rob a bank to fund the rest of my build. :lol:

I am going to be doing rollcages on both my sons C10 and my LS swapped S10 so I am going to buy one of these.

Well folks, I'd highly recommend running a straight edge along a long panel before you start doing filler or you end up like me, removing a section that was "finished" but was not straight.:waah::lol: I noticed today while finishing up sanding around those darned pins that the passenger side had a nice bow to it. I had to remove a section of filler and run the pinner down the length of the body line under the pins on the passenger side 3 times to get the bow out. Then I had to remove a bit more filler because the heat from the pinner melted off sections of filler. Man am I good at this.;):lol:
The picture doesn't show how bowed it actually was. I hadn't dug out the filler yet that was already 1/8" thick. The worst of the bow had to be about 3/16" or greater. |

Man you've come a long way on this thing! I bet you gotta be excited getting close to laying some primer and color!

Got some more filler layed down and sanded off today. I've been struggling with a wave that I can't seem to get rid of where I welded up the original gas filler. I think my next attempt will be successful as I have hammered down a few high spots. While working with that, I also started to fill the vertical sections between all the dimples in the back of the cab. Slowly but surely getting there. Picked up a new gallon of filler the other day as well so I'm prepared.:metal:

Nice work. I know, it sucks to do bodywork, but it will payoff in the end.
Good luck, Rg |

I do not envy you one bit. LOL
Then again I will be doing a bunch of bodywork so I know exactly how you feel. Just mocked up the mounts for the twin turbos yesterday so bodywork is now at least one step closer. |
