Got the patch all welded in I swear I already posted this once but I must be losing my mind,, who am I, where am I at , what was I doing ? lol.




The patch



paint over the corrseal



welded in

 

So I went to remove the roof rack and holy **** what a pain in the ***. One bolt snapped off, two of the other bolts the nut would spin and no way to hold the nut. So I had the roof rack completely loose and I had two bolts that I could not remove because they was just spinning in the hole. So how to remove these bolts? Well after some aggravation I decided to get the plasma cutter and try to burn off the heads of the bolts, well it sort of worked,, the heads just got hot and pulled through the plastic luggage rack pieces, so then I tried to clamp vise grips on the nut that was spinning but that was a joke so finally, I got the bright idea to just tack weld those nuts.






I will use washers when I reinstall the luggage rack on the two bolts that the heads melted through the rack supports.

 

And here is where I am tonight. I bought a used paint shaker today and its bad *** I have it in the video, I get excited over the smallest stuff sometimes.

 

Nice, you got solid ground under the passenger carpet now!

That paint shaker is sweet, i like it. Never seen one like it before.. ours are old school and shake back and forth rapidly, not all around like that.

 

Thanks chevyrider, yeh me too I had never seen one like that before until I bought this one.
Man its been a while since I updated. Im still working at it when I can. That cold spell we got really set me back and I got that stupid flu bug that was going around.

So I had to make a homemade paint booth

First thing I had to make was my ventilation.





I put some doors on it so when Im not using it I can close it off.

 

Here it is under the garage door and the homemade paint booth I made from tarps, conduit, and shower curtain hooks.








The paint booth worked better than I thought it would, I got to paint the inside of the doors and yeh I was happy no overspray in my garage.

 

So far Im loving this new polyester primer surfacer. Spray on body filler at its finest. One more coat on the tailgate and it should be good to go.

 

Very nice setup

 

Looks like a Dexter set in there😂 you have got a lot of talent to be doing all this stuff at home. Its gonna look beautiful when you are done with it. Keep us updated!

 

Great job on the home made booth/ventilation system! Polyester primer works wonders on small waves. I use it on fiberglass/smc cars a lot. Careful if you use it over any bare metal- it doesn't adhere well. I'd recommend using a direct to metal primer underneath before polyester on any bare metal.

Can't wait to see the finished product here!
