So......….FINALLY got the passenger side of the truck cab done and in primah today....as I previously said NOT a restoration or jazzy show truck effort. This is a work truck....and a Maine work truck at that.....so it will go away sooner or later no matter what. But it is coming along.....getting ready to move it out tomorrow and bring it back in to start on the drivers side. Learned a lot on the passenger side and not totally happy with the results but it's real solid and way better than it was!! So here is a couple pics of what is done and what the drivers side looks like...…..the condition is just about the same as the passengers side was.....one more day then another stall to do the final push on the brides new office......might get the rot cut out tomorrow and maybe the cab mount bolts out too!

Boy gotta say that 3M panel bond adhesive is freekkin' awesome....it really is....whole new take on body work repair.....spendy but well worth it...no warpage from welding...….a lot like JB weld in a dual chalking gun.....hard as flint...sands well and like a lot of glues it's stronger than the tin it adheres to.....

Is it still as Horrid smelling as it used to be????

The stuff qualifies for insurance purposes.......has for at least 15 years.
But back then......Lord it STANK!!!!!!
But well worth it. On a curve just glue in behind the cancer and some body putty and you were golden!!!!!
It amazed me. Felt like you were cheatin on honest body work.
 
Rich with DeBoss garage on YouTube [in Canada] said the flares killed his truck. Cannot get the salt and stuff out from behind them accelerating the cancer..

I dunno... down here we don't worry.

Well he's absolutely correct......however this truck nevah had them.....this is a $150.00 Quik fix to cover the rust that is already present on three of the four wheel wells. Look decent and will be inspectable. Gonna shoot the gray line with two part epoxy bed liner when the whole truck is ready. All this work will only buy 2 maybe three more years.....but $20-$30,000.00 for a decent used truck....meh....that ain't where my $20-$30,000.00 will be going... New vehicles up here, though a necessity, generally don't last much longer than the payments.....I don't like payments....this economic mess we're in right now demonstrates why I have no payments except perhaps some on Paypal…..for saws and stuff and stuff....:yes:

This is not the type work you would EVAH hire done.......so not for everyone to attempt...just sayin'....

No I didn't notice it smelling to bad.....kinda light chemical smell but not bad. 'Course I'm used to fiberglass work and it's associated stench/dust....
 
Those are hickory logs... "I saw it on Pintrest and think you could make me some.."

A full day in making those. Would have been easier with an adz. I don't have one so away I went. She's happy. My house is on the low side of the hill... neighbor's garage door there.

Little tractor took it... but she didn't want anything more picking those 9' up.

Now to mow.
