I had some fairly large gaps at the rockers so I came up with this solution.

2X on the fantastic metal working. And yes, I am one of those Kingdom guys. The originator of it as a matter of fact. It all started when I posted this thread to give compliments to some and to be funny for others. We've just had a lot of fun with it. And the brotherhood that we are.

If you don't mind sharing, what do you use to take it down to bare metal? It looks like maybe you use a sanding disc to start with, but if so how do you control the dust? Looks like you can roll the truck around so do you just roll it outside?

Obviously not your first rodeo here.

Thanks,
Chad

I have had good luck using these 3m disks for large areas. There kind of pricy but last a long time and work well.

I don't do anything about the dust, it's just a messy process anytime you mechanicly strip something. I can roll it outside and it does help. I only strip what I need to work on the take it to get blasted when all the metal work is done.

A little progress. Been busy on other projects but managed to get the truck blasted and powder coated. Will be starting body work soon.
