BODY WORK 101

Uh yea, I can definatly say this was the worst part of this project. Dirty, messy, unsatisfying, frustering work. Youve got to be crazy to do body work for a living.

After mounting the POS tub, I then went back to the body work. I had a long way to go. I planned on just bondoing the 1001 holes the previous tub owner drilled, but after attending a local wheeling event I changed my mind. Shit would rattle itself right out!

So I used a welder to fill in the holes. Pain in the ass too. Weld, grind, body filler, primer. i wish it was the fast and easy. There were so many holes it took all weekend to fill them - well I will admit some of the holes got bigger due to my shitty welding skills. Grinding took another 2 days, and the filler well, that also took a while.

After the drill holes the previous owners holes were filled, i decided that I should one-up him, by cutting a 1' x 2' hole in the floor. Yea, just for the hell of it.

After replacing that rusty floor with a new panel, I herculined El guapo.
