Small steady progress is the way to do it. Keep on truckin

Dang gina. That's alot of work.


It will totally be worth it in the end.

 

[y5mgisi]

I think so.

Got one of the new rear doors stripped and got the rest of the driver side stripped. Except I'm still on the hunt for a new driver side bedside! If I don't find one soon I'll have to just fix this one

bangin it out...

 

[y5mgisi]

Date night with the wife. No progress today. Should be some good stuff to report this weekend though!

On the truck or from the date?

 

[y5mgisi]

Hmm both?

 

[y5mgisi]

First round of stuff from southern polyurethane showed up today! Very exciting!

 

[Deuling]

Oh shiny

 

[y5mgisi]

Indeed! So many boxes! Lol

I got about a half hour in today after work. Still good stuff. Started sanding between the box and cab by hand. Now I have to go to my brothers house and help him work on his car.

Turns out this weekend's progress report will be lack luster. I did get the new rear doors ready to prime and I'm going to look at a new bedside today after work. Friday night we went out drinking so I was moving slow Saturday and only got a few hours in. And I'm working today and wasn't planning to work this weekend so that's slowing progress also. Hopefully this bedside will be decent. If it is, I'll get it bolted on this week and hopefully have the whole truck ready to prime by the end of next weekend.

Still good progress. I always get sidetracked.

I'm supposed to be fixing the garage up so I can get the volvatron in there. But this is how it's going currently.

"So I guess I will be putting up the new fence this weekend"


Sorry. Little bit of a vent.

 

[y5mgisi]

Oh believe me, I understand...

 

[y5mgisi]

Picked up the new bed side. It's in pretty good shape aside from that one rust area and a couple small dents. Should still be better off than using the bondo side.

Looks pretty dang straight to me, way better starting point than the other thats for sure!

 

[kennyw]

You checked this one with a magnet, right?

 

[campfire]

What are the two quarter-sized holes (front and rear)? Looks like a hook or mounting bracket is sticking out of the rear one...
