New Project at Musclerodz - '68 K20

[Musclerodz]

Cab and bed are blocked for the last time before final 2 coats of primer for wet sanding right before color. Also at this time truck was seam sealed. How do you get perfect gutter seams? $60 for 2 tubes of seam sealer. Heavy body for the vertical spots and self leveling for the top that leaves a perfect gutter.

Cab has been final primed, so we rolled it up to finish the bottom of the floor. Scraped clean, seam sealed, epoxy primed, and Raptor lined. We are working on the bed right now as I post this.

Im at this part right now...

I was going to tilt the cab on the the firewall and put the vertical pieces horizontal, then when that cured, lay the cab back down and put the sealer in the horizontal areas.... Would that work also???? Also, did you tape the cab off when putting the seam sealer on to keep that line so straight?

Only taped the vertical portion of the drip rail. Let the self leveling sealer do its magic on its own just making sure the cab was level for uniform flow out. You could lay the cab over, but the self leveling sealer is a little more difficult to deal with when trying to blend to existing sealer. Does not want to cooperate which is why I used two different sealers.
