Well was about ready to pull in paint room was wiping truck down and saw some tiny cracks on driver side bedside filler cracks and I knew what it was I had forgotten to put fiberglass reinforced filler down first so I sanded it back down to metal and I'm fixing it early mistake I've done body work but never this big of a job on my own so lesson learned about fixed now though

Looking real good!

z31freakify 07-10-2017 08:23 PM

Looks great, want to paint mine next? Lol....

7.3 forever 07-10-2017 08:27 PM

Theres some imperfections but Itll polish up good but this is probably my last paint excursion not my line of work love working on these trucks just not body work

oldbird1965 07-10-2017 09:08 PM

I know what you mean. I painted a 66 mustang, 65 falcon and a 63 falcon and don't ever want to do it again.

7.3 forever 07-10-2017 11:42 PM

It is a lot of work I wish I'd spent a bit more time on this one in all honesty but once I get the pin stripes and 4x4 stickers on painting the mirrors black I think it'll look good it'll draw eyes away from some small imperfections in all honesty wish I could keep the truck I'd drive it a bit throw dana 60 under it and efuel and baby swamps and call it good but sold it already made deal always be another one out there
