Hello? Yes, I'd like 3 tons of bondo please....

driverside door



The roof looks good now. haha.



fiberglass bondo is basically done, regular bondo going on the little dents soon.

Expect another update sunday night, This project is going at warp speed now!!

 

UPDATEEEEEEEEEEEE!

All fiberglass bondo is done and smooth, regular bondo is almost done.
One more night of working on it and she'll be ready for paint!!!
If all goes to plan, painting will be done next wednesday or thursday.
I expect to have her on the road in two weeks.

Also probably getting new tires, so that means burning off the old ones...

Were rockguarding the whole thing now, I'm plum crazy about it.

Sadly, I couldn't find any batteries for my camera, so no pics tonight

 

got bondo? my god thats alot!!

 

There is tons, almost half of the door is bondo .

But it is looking factory shape, just a little bit off in some places, I do wish I still had my good body lines, but that's what you get when you crash.

 

I went through the same tedious process when I fixed my bed. It took me three months of working on it everynight after work to get it done, and a year later, the bondo is starting to bubble already. It's a painstaking process, but you'll get a ton of compliments when it's done.

 

Lookin' good dude keep it up...

 

UPDATE!

All bondo is finnished, done, over.
We're doing the final windshield fitting tomorow.
When the weather warms up it'll be primed, rock guarded and painted, then the windsheild will be set.

Also, Friday I'm getting new tires, 31x10.5x15

Sorry no pics of late, but I assure you, it looks amazing.

 

PICS (I appologise for them being bad)
We masked it all up and cleaned it.
Getting sealed, rockguarded and painted tomorow!!!

 

Too bad about the roll. Glad things are coming together tho, and I cant wait to see it finished.

 

nice job w/ the body repair. wanna do my truck next?

just a thought...
i don't know if i would hang the exhaust directly to the frame. shouldn't there be some type of vibration dampener in there? (leather, rubber, etc.) maybe i'm wrong...

J

 

There should be a rubber dampener. but we used what was lying around, I do have the rubber hangers still and all the factory mounts are in place in case I want to route the exhaust out the side.
Right now it'll be fine as is, but if rattleing shows up I probably will dampen it.

Thanks for the comments!
It's been a LOT of work.

 

We're PAINTED!!!

Pics comming tonight, when we bring it back to my house.

 

PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(enough?)

 

thats awesome

 

did alot of body work on that truck love the paint job though and good find on the truck

 

Thanks!
Tomorow I'll get some better pics of it in the sunlight.
In the shade it looks black and in the sun it's a dark purple.

Some sunlight pics in the driveway before we set the windshied and clean some stuff up.

 

Set windsheild, put on new mirrors welded the taillights on, and re-connected the fuel lines.
