It’s been over a month since i last updated thread. I managed to accomplish a couple of small items, mostly consisting of sanding.
Had some family swing by a couple weekends ago and i took advantage of the extra bodies to help move my box to a rolling cart. Once on the cart, i did a final sand before urethane primer.
With better access to the back of the cab, I sprayed a couple areas with the feather fill to clean up the body lines a bit more. After a couple rounds of that, the cab is ready for a few coats of urethane primer.
I also finished prepping the front bumper as well as the entire front clip and doors for final primer. My raw hands will appreciate the break from the sand paper.
I put the core support patch off for so long that i had forgotten about it until i saw the damage when dismantling the front clip. It needed a small patch where the battery acid thinned/pitted the metal pretty bad. Also had to weld in a nut that had popped out at some point.
I’ll be meeting up with my parents for a small get together this weekend, so hopefully my dad and I can get my paint order finalized. Also picking up the catalyst for the urethane primer so hopefully that happens in the near future!
Have a happy new year!
