the genius strikes again

 

Quite a bit has been accomplished the past few weeks. Namely thanks to Wil (Sierra Expeditions), Corbin (Zebra Sports) and Tim who have given me a HUGE hand in helping fix the body filler. THANKS GUYS!!!

Kind of a long story, but the guy that originally started the body filler work apparently didn't know what he was doing. (Yeah, I'm a little tiffed.) So Wil, Corbin, Tim and I have been working on fixing it to the best we can.

Here's teaser photo til I get more of the photos processed.

 

Can't wait to see the new paint job!

 

Back to the body work. The last update on this was with someone else doing the work. Turns out the guy had no idea what he was doing.
So I've decided I couldn't do much worse and attempted to salvage what I could.
Here I point out the body line that doesn't align with the bed.




With a sanding block I start removing the excess material.

 

My friend Tim came over to give me a hand taking the truck apart while I start the body work.
First the rear bumper swing arm gets removed.




Then the bumper itself.




The bed gets pulled of onto a hydraulic lift. This is so I can raise and lower the bed while working on it.




And then, more sanding.

 

After the sides get sanded down I work on the roof.




The next day I sand blasted all the primer off of the bed.




Then I ground all the surrounding areas clean.




Both sides of the bed get cleaned up and ready for body filler.

 

Back to the cab, I try to work on the body lines.




Later on Wil (of Sierra Expeditions) and Corbin (of Zebra Sports) came over to give me a hand.
As you can see by the light green spots there were tons of pin hols in the last guys job.

 

Lookin good so far!

 

heck yeah! can't wait to see colour on it!

 

Looking good man

 

sweet man i hate body work
