Eggs2bacon 1st Chevy build!

Eggs2bacon · September 5, 2021

I started the body work and just FYI some of you may not like this. I started with filling the gap with foam sealer to help build the panel back. Then once it’s dry I cut away the excess with a razor. I was pretty happy with the results so far.

I did sand the foam back some before applying the fiberglass. You can see below the fiber glass set up easily and I gave it a good sanding but forgot a picture

At this point I decided two things; this is a pain in the butt. So on the other panels I’ve got a different approach.

but I continued on by applying body filler next. Then started to sand it. It’s got ALOT of sanding to go. This is probably one of the biggest steps to get smooth or it’s gonna show through.

Picked up some black paint from wal-mart. I plan on applying a rocker guard over the top of the paint when I’m completely done. BUT…I painted it with primer, then black paint, then 2k epoxy clear coat and I was surprised with the finish. Surprisingly it matches, and I haven’t even wet sanded to blend it. I might not be applying any rocker guard if this turns out good!

Then the black….and clearcoat. The truck is still dirty and needs washed but I’m stunned with the results!

And a little surprise project, while I was in between stages I decided to sand the tail lights and brake lights with 600 grit, 2000 grit, then clear coat then with the 2k epoxy. Super pumped with how shiny they came out

Much awaited mods! So I lucked out this time! My son decided to crawl from the back seat and he broke my jump seat lid. But I remembered at work that upstairs we have a couple jump seats that had been ordered but the customer never came back for them. And sure enough I found one that fit…..but for the 08-13 body style. But I knew they fit. I asked my owner of the dealership how much for the one upstairs. And he said free! So here’s the pics!
