Here's what it looked like about 30 minutes before I handed over the cash to some guy in Oregon and loaded it on the trailer.
Covid project, but ended up driving it all spring summer and fall last year, thus defeating the purpose of gettin some work done when the world didn't know whether it was foot or horseback and the kids were bored with no sports and school at home last year.
Paint is all purchased and ready to go. Same colors. 2 stage base/clear.
Short list of to do's before paint.
Fix 3 more rust holes around windshield frame.
Another round of High build primer and block out the doors and front fenders 1 more time.
Pull 2 little dents under the back window. (Bought cab trim to cover, but it doesn't...)
Spray entire truck with sealer coat of primer prior to base coat
That's it!
Best part is, there's probably only about 8oz of bondo on the whole truck!
On a serious note, I need to find someone to blast the inside of the bed. It never was stripped and repainted like the rest of the truck was and still has the original peeling paint. I'm not sanding and scraping the inside of the bed. Too many bends and hard to reach spots.
Found a guy who will do it reasonably, but I have to deliver the bed to him during working hours. Not horribly difficult since I have the bed on a stout dolly and a trailer with a ramp, but I'm never home during the day...
Anyone know of a mobile blaster in the Maple Valley area? I have enough space and gravel that it would be a super simple option.
