Today we start the extended process of handling a dent in the read passenger’s side tail panel. It’s a long process that starts with a failure on paint stripping. Regardless, we power through and ultimately get the job done. This is my very first time stripping paint and adding body filler. Post your comments on… Read More »
Today I’m back out in the garage with a few house keeping items to attend to (pun intended). The biggest question we need to answer is “Will the welded captured nut actually hold?”. Let’s find out.

Wow! How time flies! Back in the shop today for a long day of work. The goal today is to paint, as-in bed line, the underside of the floor of the tub. Earlier this week I went to the nearest automotive store and purchased three types of bed liners/undercoatings and ran a test on what… Read More »
