Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew

Back to my least favorite part.....BODY WORK!. It's a necassary evil and I'm back to it. I don't mind the metal work, but the filler and SANDING sucks! I've done lots of sheetrock and hate the finish part of that too. Maybe I should texture this thing!? I'm going to be scared to death to paint this, fearing that my body work sucks. I know it does to some standards, but to mine???, we'll see. Single stage urethane or base / clear??? I'm getting close and am nervous!
The LMC rocker fit pretty well, but needed work at the hard-corners where the door rubber lays. After I fit and welded it in, it needed cut in those corners and zap welded home. It turned out sweet. The passenger door had a tiny bit of rot in the back/bottom corner, which I cut out and patched. Its solid now. We welded up all the PO holes in the dash and throughout the cab and the interior is looking smooth now. Still a few touches and I'm done inside. There's still a few dings left in the lid, yay! I'm staring at the oil-soaked, nasty, grimy firewall next, then the pile of doors, hood, grille, inners, etc... Gawd I wanna be done with this part and get to paint and assembly! The rest of you are kickin' arse and I'm proud to be a member! Oh ya, BUTTERNUT YELLOW with a white top!!! Gonna be sick with that Muncie!!!
