scooter99 Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Thanks. I hope so too. Haven't heard anything bad about them. And there's a pot hole guarantee with AT. If I hit a pothole or something like it, standard road hazard, and I break a wheel, bend or crack, they will replace it.

scooter99 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Ok guys, I was able to get some stuff done tonight. I'm fighting some health issues but I plugged along anyway. Last I left you guys the mold was out, and that's where we're at now. Let's see some pics. It was time to sand down the high spots and get this thing ready to finish up. Again it's not a structural piece, but more a cosmetic piece. The structure is built in and is strong enough on it's own. So there's not a lot of layers needed on this. Got out the orbital sander and some 40 grit paper and went to work! Progress pics Started knocking down the back. This is gonna be a pain to get to look good. Now that got most of it, but the sharp corners are just not reachable for the orbital. What can we do about that? I KNOW!! GO BUY A NEW TOY!!!! I love my Ridgid tools!!! That got those corners and did a great number on the rest. Best $50 I've spent so far!! Obviously I have some low spots. That's what filler is for! But I have to trim it up now. Couldn't find my grinder, I'm guessing it's buried somewhere in the shop. So I had to improvise!! Ridgid jigsaw ftmfw!!!

scooter99 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Now before I go any further, I openly admit alot of this is learning on the fly! Body filler is one of those things! I don't know much about it, I really just guess at it, and most of the time it works. I don't have any special scales, or measuring tools or anything like that. But sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I'll readdress why I said this at the end. Let's move on! So as I said before the back is going to be a pain to get looking good. SO, I thought that would be the best place to start, and at least get a layer on there. YES, it's 3M. It's what I can afford right now, It's what I have on hand, and it'll do the job. So I got that layer done. That took a lot of filler to do. After that, I kind of stopped taking pics. Had to get done and get inside to help with my daughters and routines and stuff. HOWEVER, I did get the rest filled. Now there isn't much on there. It's not a very thick layer at all. I spread and spread and spread so it's not very thick. BUT, that being said, I ended up when all was said and done, going through an entire brand new can, the one you saw above, of filler. Even scrapped out the sides and bottom. I used it all! Maybe it's just me, but that seemed like a lot of filler to use on this. What do you guys see? I'm open to some suggestions. The rest of the pics. So there it is. That's it for tonight. In the next couple days I'll try and get over for some more filler, and some filler primer, and also sand this down and see how close I am. I'm sure I'll have quite a bit more touch up to do. Thanks for checking it out. More to come soon! Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
