Doesn't look like much was done today..but a ton of wiring and fixing stuff. Corner lights replaced with amber bulbs to pass inspection, switch is bad in the column which is causing one of the low beams to go in and out randomly...

You can see the rats nest of wire underneath the dash, continuing to figure out whats going where...hopefully i'll get it all sorted out tomorrow, sorry for not many pics today.

Horn in the truck now so it's legal, lights are all legal except the switch is messed up and needs replaced, grill is back in.

Small update for today, spent a lot of the day doing stuff i had to get done.

Rust inhibitor paint that i'm going to put on the inside of the bed area tomorrow..just in case it decides to leak later on down the road this will not let rust form.

Gotta weld this nastyness up tomorrow

Inside shot of the door..some Dynamat, probably will be some Second Skin products in there shortly

How it sits until tomorrow, inside of the bed will get painted with the por 15, dent in the hood hammered out, and the hole in the passenger door welded up and flushed in as good as i can without having primer..

More pics to come tomorrow!

POR 15 ROCKS! I did the underside/inner fenders wheel wells of the cars in that stuff (as they are all rust free and I wanted to keep them that way). It also looks really nice whe you see in the wheel wells and the underside is that semi gloss black, easer to clean to, dirt and grime doesnt stick for chit on POR15

Follow the directions and remember cleanliness is godlessness and you should get awesome results.

If you take the paint off clean it REALLY well and use that metal etch (or just go buy some phosphoric acid).

Todays update, body work.

Took the old wall out of the truck with the fork lift today and put it up in the pallet rack for time being..

 

[NDMstang65 10+ year member]

I welded the hole up in the door, truck has keyless entry so really no need for a lock on the passenger side anyhow.

 

[NDMstang65 10+ year member]

Hammered the dent out in the hood and ground it down to get something for the filler to hang onto.

 

[NDMstang65 10+ year member]

Everything is blocked down now but i didnt take a pic of the door and awaiting for when i can go pickup a can of good primer, the hood has to be painted due to the rock chips in it...

 

[NDMstang65 10+ year member]

Por-15 for the inside of the bed and cab

That's it for today...watch for more tomorrow!

Nah, somebody tried to break into it when it's home was Nashville..they stretched a good 3" of the metal around the lock..had no choice but to weld a new patch in it.
