Brave or crazy? crewcab build

[oilyrag80]

Check what i picked up today this should fix my problem,
Its going to be more work than the repop part but alot cheaper.
I dug it out of my buddys scrap trailer he said just cut out what I need
and bring back the left overs

[Rusbuilt]

Sweet bro! I don't see any rust in that one!

[Dieselwrencher]

Nice score!

[bodydropped68]

Sweet that should work out nice.

[americanthunder]

Looking good man! Wish I had your talents and determination but I'll get there. Let me know if you ever need an assistant I'd be glad to help when/where I can!

It looks good eve the wire gutter is in good shape. I only see a small spot of rust and that is fixable. God job on finding that piece.

[Dieselwrencher]

I just wanted to say it's colder than all get out up here so I hope you're outside getting progress done! It got down to 2* last night. This morning the lights in the shop wouldn't come on at all.

I also removed the pass side part of the cowl looked pretty rusty
in there then I hit it with the wire wheel and it cleaned up nice.
There is some pitting but i dont think its enough to have to replace
any of it. What should i coat this with before replacing panel?
I have some epoxy primer and some self etching but I was
thinking of just getting a rattle can of rustoluem heavy rust coating.

I like your progress. I would hit it with some Rustoleom Extend or Rust-mort. They do a decent job of stopping rust. The downside is it smells bad when you weld though it

Good deal! Nice to see theres no major rot in there!

[Mayo]

cool project, you do excellent work

[gdavis]

Rustoleom puts out a builder primer that work great. It dubles the paint on the surface. and gei this even slow down the rust. Did I say slow down well nothing will stop what has already took place.

[oilyrag80]

Made some progress today finished up the pass side cowl replacment.
There was some rust behind fender mounting bracket so I went ahead and
cut a peice to replace rust and shave blower hole.

[Palf70Step]

Nice work on your build. This is another very interesting one to watch.
