Last week was like a detailing metal work. After the epoxi was done like a month ago, we put the metal to rest to focus on the engine + transmission.
Applying putty to even the surface:
How it used to look...
The sheet metal of the hood had wrinkles,....can be seen as example in the left pic below:
All this was also applied in the rest of the cab and doors. Doors were a joke, like somebody practiced football kick with them.
To think that nothing of this could be seen clearly under ten layers of thick paint when I bought the truck....
At least I would have fought more for lowering the price.
Even with all the treatments applied on the steel, there were curved surfaces, stitches, holes, minor corrosion spots, etc....
It is expensive and takes time, not gonna lie. But at the end of the day you have peace of mind for job well done. Also, to be sure that you are covered in humidity, temperature differences, saltpeter and all the
s#@! from beach weather.
This and next week:
painting.
(I have re-arranged the pics, text and provided more info)
