No It is a body filler gun from 3M. No filler boards, saves time and you can put it right on the panel an spread.

Oh can you say spoiled. Got the forklift out, makes things 10 time easier.

Body filler gun at work

Sanding done and pin holes filled.

Just need to prime.

xxjimmybonezxx · 11-02-2009, 12:20 PM

Is it body filler or a metal glaze. What are you using to fill in the pin holes a kombi putty

Body filler in gun and Kombi for pin holes.

m1lilmikeg2xx3 · 11-05-2009, 12:43 AM

Got the driver side primed up.

Tacked in the tub sides

Welded from the inside.

Etched for rust protection untill I get it bed lined.

Seam sealed and undercoated the inside.

Up next is the notch cover.

I plan the have the truck in paint on the 14th of Nov.

No I havn't got to the rim shop yet. I figured I would just go by there with the truck when its done.

Yeah its bad ass, It cuts the time down more than half. I dont know how much they run because the shop purchased it, but im sure its a arm and a leg for one.

One other thing that is real nice is you can put filler on top of filler wet or dry and not have to sand each coat or layer. So if you put on filler and it drys and you still see a low spot you can put another coat of filler on without sanding the first coat. very nice.

m1lilmikeg2xx3 · 11-11-2009, 02:54 AM

Got the body work done to the tailgate and primmed up.

Taking some measurements to see where I want the notch cover to sit.
I want the notch cover to hug the notch as close as posable.
It will be 14 inches wide with 63 degree sides and 7 inches tall.

I got the notch cover made for me for $56.00 and thats was for sheet
metal and bends, cheaper than ordering out of a magizine.

ITALIANO · 11-12-2009, 02:40 PM

Sweet more progress, but figured you'd a shaved tailgate...

Yeah there is alot of things I would like to do to the truck.
Like shaved tail lights, tailgate, door handles, gas lid, new bumper,
Roll pan, body drop, kp 6link, interior work, and much more.

The only reason I shaved the stake pockets is because it looked like
someone tried to force a 2X4 in it.

Its a time and money thing or just more money than time.

But I'll say what I say to everyone else, as polite as possible,
that say "You Should."

"You buy I build" (no hard labor envolved to you, I'll do all the work.)

m1lilmikeg2xx3 · 11-15-2009, 02:03 AM

Ready to install notch cover

L brakets welded in

Notch cover welded in

m1lilmikeg2xx3 · 11-15-2009, 03:12 AM

Instead of using seam sealer, I used a product called panel boned for added
strength because I didnt weld the notch cover in solid, but did alot of steroid
tacks. Then undercoat.

numatk_07 · 11-15-2009, 04:35 AM

looks good. I need body finishing experience like you have. I wish I knew someone close to me. I'm new to all metal work.

Thanks. yeah I didn't think I would get into body work myself, I just always wanted to be a painter.
Now I just do body work and paint on the side.

I know that you didn't say "you should."
I was just trying to explain the situation the best I could, because I do get
a lot of that "you should" said to me.

The truck is in paint now and is coming along.

m1lilmikeg2xx3 · 11-15-2009, 07:18 PM

Cut in the bed

m1lilmikeg2xx3 · 11-15-2009, 07:27 PM

Painted the roof and the back of the cab with the truck layed out.
Makes things way easier.
