Fresh off the truck. Can you see my printout of the 8274 complete rebuild from pirate4x4 in the background? I'd recommend it in addition to all the good stuff here on mud!

Holy crap where'd the bigass hole go?? Love it. That's all for now, top and doors are back on, thinking to get her painted with original 464 Beige in the next month or so just to seal it up that much better. Was going to leave it, but doug volunteered to

More primer. Didn't do as much work and sanding on the inside, just wanted to be good for winter, the amount of salt used on the roads here is brutal, so cars rust in about 4 seconds. If you look you can see some bad spots. Might hang a picture there...

Primer!! About frickin time, I was tired of sanding. Applied by doug the autobody guy. Mixed it so it would be super hard so I could beat it up a bit.

My new favorite guy sprayed her with etching primer as there was a fair bit of bare metal. Apparently not many people do this any more but it digs right in and gives an awesome prep surface for primer.

Some of the product used. The Evercoat Rage Gold filler was awesome. Easy to work with, mixed with 1/4 putty filler (didn't get a pic of it) and 1/8 hardener and went on like a dream. Sanded with 40 grit just after tackiness went away (approx 7-10 mins),

Definitely better than what I was doing by trial and error! Nothing can replace being shown how to do things by people who do it for a living.

Took it to a friend's shop, learned how to properly do filler and sanding from an autobody guy. WTF was I doing before??? Learning.

First time fibreglass. Used long hair bondo, liked the stuff other than being pretty messy.

If I could weld this would have been a good place for some new metal. Lots of grinding and fibreglass instead.

yep. That there's a hole. Quick cover up from PO to pass his safety, was rusting through the bondo for some reason.

Decided to start the body work! Get ready for winter, and at least do enough so it won't fall apart. Maybe do a real job down the road when I've got more skills. Chicks dig skills.
