Only got to spend about 2 hrs on truck today, hate it when work interferes with a project
Got grill, trim, side markers, and battery box removed. Battery box is toast, any ideas on where to get a new one???
First 2 pics are of rust at the front of the fender liners. Is it easier to replace fender liners, or weld in a new patch, looks like rust is over a mounting brace, and might be hard/time consuming to repair. Again, looking for a preferred vendor, to check prices.
Pic 3-4 Are fenders, sanded with #80 Truck has been resprayed once. The primer over the original paint is not sticking properly. So sanded down to bare metal/factory primer. Previous painter had even sprayed some of the top coat over bare metal, no primer at all. It just flaked off, when hit with the #80
Pic 5 Hood, guessing it is an OEM hood, but previous painter had it down to bare metal, you can see where the paint/primer is peeling off in big chunks. Any guesses as to why??
When priming the bare metal should I use an etching primer? On my other car I used Omni epoxy primer 170, is an etching primer needed. Still trying to learn.
Will hopefully get fender liners removed, and better pics tomorrow.
