the A pillar on the gozzard tub is not strong enough and it flex and crack when the door get fully open, so i build some metal reinforcement , glued on with fiberglass puty and pop rivets

 

[jim land]

after the paint it look better

 

[Varty Yo]

Thats some nice fab work on the pillars man!!!

 

[jim land]

some bed liner and i'm done for the paint , the stock vinyl carpet is a little dry ,im not sure if i will use it

 

[jim land]

all unwrap and ready to put it back together

 

[jim land]

i'm a little desappointed about a small no match of the paint (you can see the difference between hood and fender) , the first gallon was all use on the top , hood and doors
then i got another gallon for the tub and fenders , anyway i will live with it , and after all it will get scatch and dusty

Looks great, what type of bedliner did you use?

 

[jim land]

bed armor from duplicolor , i have used it on the past on my 4runner bumper and its a good product , i shoot it with a gravelguard gun but it's available in rattle can too

 

[jim land]

These faces made me laugh.




This guy looks horrified.


Great work on the resto!

Wow looks great. How do u bolt the hard top sides to the fiberglass? How durable is that bedliner compared to linex? I like how u only did the floor and not the sides. Nice detail.

the hardtop is held in place with rivet nut on the fiberglass side
for the liner , i'm sure linex is a ticker and superior product , i use the bed armor because i have a new quart on the shelf for 4 years , it was hard to mix all the solid that rest in the bottom of the can and some rubber particule are bigger than normal,
but i'm on a tight budget and just use my old stuff
